Want harisa, get it home delivered

“I am a food blogger and we were running @kashmir_foodblogger page on Instagram. Six months back, we decided to start our own cloud kitchen ‘Dastarkhwaan’ and the response has been great. These days, harisa is in great demand. People like our harisa and we are getting good reviews as it is homemade and made from 100 per cent lamb meat. We deliver across Srinagar city and also in Pampore,” Alima told The Kashmir Monitor.
