Kaab-e-mashooq Recipe (Apple Sweet Dish) 

The best part of being a food reviewer is the fact not only you get invites to the best food festivals in town but you also get to spend some quality time with the masters from the kitchen – The chefs of 5 star hotels while they share amazing journeys of picking a dish,  experiments that results in amazing dishes which we only relish but don’t realize how much efforts goes in making that perfect bite. 

So this particular recipe that I tried at home was as per the explanation which Chef Ashwani Singh from Leela Hotel gave me during my visit of the Dinning with Maharajas – Season 1. He insisted on trying this and after we had it,  he explained the recipe And the cuisines was awadhi and what I tried my hands on was this Apple sweetdish if you can spot the one wrapped in silver foil next to the green bowl in the plate 

The name of the dessert is Kaab e mashooq and has Apple as one of the key ingredient. While hearing to his narration of the recipe I was sure I ll try this for sure.
