My name is Asmat and I am a Scottish Desi. I was born in Glasgow and still live here. I speak urdu, punjabi and of course english. My ancestral heritage is from a city in Pakistan named Sialkot. I enjoy the outdoors and gardening.
Cooking is one of my passions. I have been cooking with exotic spices since I was a teenager. I hope you enjoy my traditional recipes.
Scotland is a beautiful country. When the lockdown travel rule is lifted - I hope to show you some of the amazing Scottish scenery. Lets cook outdoors.
A short poem written by my brother Rafaqat dedicated to me on 16th April 2020.
Pakoras and kebabs he’ll teach you to make
Come on have a try you’ll learn from every mistake
Pancakes for breakfast,then some spiced tea
Onwards to lunch it’s got to be Scottish Desi
Lunchtimes are fun oh here comes the sun
No need to bbq make a rocket have some fun
Back home in summer always drink lassi
He’ll teach you to make salty or sweet
You know he’s your pal aye it’s Scottish Desi
