A LITTLE KITCHEN KNOW-HOW

High-heat searing combined with citrusy, numbing Nepalese timur pepper to rapidly coat meat and vegetables with bold aromatic heat.
Notes from the kitchen
- Heating mustard oil until faint smoke appears mellows its sharp raw bite into a pleasantly nutty aroma.
- Slicing beef thinly against the grain ensures fast cooking while keeping the meat juicy.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Nepalese; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
