Chef Asma Khan is back in the kitchen for a new episode of Secrets of the Curry Kitchen, and this week the focus is entirely on snacks. In an installment titled “Sumptuous Snacks,” Khan puts together a menu of Indian street food and home-style bites that move well beyond the usual fare. The episode is a practical guide to creating flavorful, smaller dishes that pack a significant punch.
On the menu this week are spiced Kabab Burgers, a hearty and aromatic option perfect for a quick meal. Khan also prepares crispy monsoon pakoras, a classic snack ideal for any occasion. Rounding out the food lineup are a batch of savory koftas and a decidedly indulgent take on chilli cheese toasties, a fusion comfort food that bridges two culinary traditions.
The series continues its straightforward mission: to demystify Indian cooking for a home audience. Khan’s approach is direct and accessible, breaking down each recipe with clear instructions. This episode is less about a formal dinner and more about the casual, social side of food, presenting four distinct recipes that can be made individually or as part of a larger spread. It’s a half-hour dedicated to the craft of the perfect bite.
Secrets of the Curry Kitchen airs Thursday, June 19, at 9:00 PM on Food Network (UK).
