Issue XIV, March

We’re heading into March as we mean to go on: filling our eyes, ears and bellies courtesy of many talented creators in the South Asian community. Whether you’re in the mood for stirring music or a contemplative read, we hope you find something you enjoy.

We’re turning up the volume with:—

South Asian Sounds – a mini-festival taking place from 7th – 10th March at the Southbank Centre. Be transported by contemporary and classic performers from across South Asia, including curated performances by our good friends and genre-defying UK collective, Dialled In. They will be platforming Pakistani maestro Ustad Noor Baksh, who makes his UK debut alongside Eelam Tamil vocalist Pritt.

Get dancing to these vibrant beats

We’re preparing to feast with:—

Desified – a cookery book inspired by the core principles of Ramadan, perfect as the holy month approaches. Recipes include easy-breezy breakfasts (ideal inspiration for suhoor), as well as tasty family feasts and sweet treats. Naturally, it also comes chock-full of delicious ideas for ways to break your fast.

Get inspired

We’re pressing play on:—

Season 7 of Somebody Feed Phil, specifically their ‘Mumbai’ episode. Eagle-eyes will spot Dishoom co-founder Kavi Thakrar leading host Phil through the city’s bustling streets, as they embark on a whistle-stop tour of the city’s most famous (and flavourful) foodie strip, Mohammed Ali Road. Prepare to feel extremely hungry.

Join the culinary journey

We’re taking a moment with:—

Our very own Dishoom x Mauli Rituals hand & body wash, the newest addition to the Dishoom Store. Gentle and fragranced with a signature-blended Dishoom scent, made from essential oils of bergamot, reposeful jasmine, sandalwood, lime and sweet orange. Perfect to gift (even if only to oneself).

Indulge in the moment
