First Snow in Our Village: Making Kuku

As a cook, there is something truly magical about the first snow of the season. The crisp air, the quiet stillness of the village, and the promise of cozy, warming dishes to come. In this video, we invite you to join us as we prepare a traditional Gilani recipe that perfectly captures the essence of the first snow: fish koku with fresh nettle.

In our village, we believe in using the freshest ingredients possible, and that’s why we love incorporating nettle into our dishes. This leafy green not only adds a unique flavor to the koku, but it also brings a touch of the outdoors into our kitchen. We’ll show you how to pick, wash, and chop the nettle with care, ensuring that it’s ready to shine in our dish.

Once the nettle is prepped, we combine it with fish and a medley of spices, creating a flavorful mix that is sure to delight your taste buds. The koku is then fried to perfection, resulting in a crispy, golden crust that is simply irresistible. When served with freshly baked village bread, the dish truly transports you to our little corner of the world.

So, why not embrace the magic of the first snow and try your hand at cooking our fish koku with nettle? We promise that it’s a recipe like no other, and one that will leave you craving more. Dive in, savor the flavors, and enjoy a taste of our village – you won’t be disappointed.
