Its different and awesome. This will help me educate my progeny on what food their mother grew up on and why I miss home so much. Measures were definitely not for my mom and mostly I don't use them too much either. this is great!! At last the perfect description of what Kashmiri cooking is about. Its different and awesome.

The quick and dirty bit is so apt - that's how I describe my mother's cooking many times - and every times it comes out perfect! The mutsch, on the other hand, seems simple, but because there are 'no spoons or measures', is quite a dish to perfect. I am still working on mine!
