Srinagar, June 14 (ANI): Inclined towards Kashmiri traditional food since childhood, Ruhaab Lateef Mir is on a mission to revive the traditional Kashmiri cuisines. She has revived decades old Kashmiri health drink ‘Shahi Sheera’ and served it in more than 100 weddings last year. Hailing from Srinagar, Ruhaab is an environmental advocate by profession and a proud owner of her food unit “Khyen Khoardan by Ruhaab”. She shared her experience of food fest held at Kashmir University during her studies. She registered herself and said that she wanted to make something unique, so she decided to make Shahi Sheera drink from apricots to grab everyone’s attention. Then she spent a lot of time in research work and finally made it for 200 to 300 people of university. Before that, she had already completed the sampling of the products; what amount of ingredients should be added and how it will be served among all age groups. Her efforts were appreciated by all. That time she had no intention to sell it as a product in the market. Ruhaab said, “It was a successful event which boosted my confidence and after that, I thought I will revive this traditional Kashmiri drink for my own people. It will be my small contribution to society.”
