Acclaimed Kashmiri chef Prateek Sadhu is in the capital serving up street food from home.
He's collaborating with Chaat Street's owner, Kashmiri chef Vaibhav Vishen for Wellington on a Plate event Chaat Street.
Chaat is the name given to savoury snacks from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Kashmir; it comes from a Hindi word for "lick", as in licking fingers while you eat.
We're talking tangy, sweet, crispy and crunchy food. Prateek and Vaibhav are serving up delicious Kashmiri dishes with ingredients foraged under the pines in Karori.
What are weeds to Wellingtonians are delicious herbs in Kashmir.
Prateek is passionate about gathering native ingredients to use in his cheffing.
The Chaat Street event also features a pop-up Kashmiri wedding feast, served in a dining room ordained with traditional artwork and crockery. Prateek and Vaibhav join Kathryn to talk about the tasty weekend ahead
