About Khanum
Uzbek cuisine, often simply called Khanum in affectionate home settings, emphasises bold spices, slow-cooked meats, and fresh produce. Our Khanum collection showcases premium imports like golden raisins for plov (Uzbek pilaf), sumac and cumin blends for kebabs, and chickpea flour for binding manty dumplings. You'll also find dried apricots, barberries, and nigella seeds – staples that add tangy depth and aroma to every dish.
These ingredients aren't just for authenticity; they're versatile for modern UK kitchens. Whip up a steaming pot of plov with lamb, carrots, and our specially sourced rice that stays fluffy after hours of simmering. For lighter fare, use our herb mixes in shashlik skewers or laghman noodles. Quality is paramount: all products are sourced from trusted Uzbek suppliers, ensuring freshness and purity without artificial additives.
Storage is straightforward – keep spices in airtight jars away from light, and dried fruits in a cool pantry for up to a year. Perfect for meal prepping, hosting dinner parties with a cultural twist, or simply elevating weeknight meals. Dive into the rich heritage of Khanum cooking and transform your table with these vibrant, aromatic essentials.
