Samiullah, 25, a Srinagar resident, has been called to Kolkata, days ahead of Indian Premiere League (IPL) which will start on March 31.
“I am overjoyed as it is a big opportunity for me to be a part of KKR camp for the upcoming IPL edition. It is a big opportunity for a player like me to train and bowl with world class players,” he said.
“I was noticed during a match in Delhi and was told to be in touch. After a few days, I got a call to join KKR pre-IPL camp as a net bowler,” Samiullah said.
He said that his family and friends are happy for him while he is aiming to perform better and seek more opportunities to express his cricketing talent on bigger platforms.

Samiullah, however, said he is yet to represent Jammu and Kashmir in any bigger cricketing event other than his participation in the JKCA’s talent hunt tournament where he took 12 wickets in four matches.
“I have mostly played cricket in Delhi and participated in league tournaments there,” he said. “I will continue to work hard as the ambiance of the international standard league will help me in more improvisation in the game.” (KNO)

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: National Investigation Agency on Tuesday said that it has arrested a person in connection with NGO- militancy case in Central Kashmir’s Srinagar district.
Irfan Mehraj was apprehended by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Srinagar for his alleged involvement in funding militant activities in the valley on Monday. According to NIA’s investigation into the NGO militancy funding case registered in October 2020, Mehraj was closely associated with Khurram Parvez and worked with his organization, Jammu and Kashmir Coalition of Civil Societies (JKCCS).
The probe revealed that the JKCCS, under the guise of protecting human rights, was promoting a secessionist agenda in the Valley. The NIA’s findings were disclosed in a handout to the news agency GNS.
According to the spokesman, the investigation is looking into the funding of militancy-related activities by certain NGOs, trusts, and societies based in the Valley. Some of these organizations, registered and unregistered, have been found to be collecting funds both domestically and abroad under the guise of carrying out charitable and welfare activities such as public health and education. However, the probe has revealed that some of these organizations have established connections with banned militant groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM). (GNS)

Kashmiri Roganjosh Lands Celebrated British Chef In Controversy

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Celebrity chef and television host, Gordon Ramsay found himself in controversy after he tried his hands on rogan Josh, a mutton dish that traces its origin to Kashmir.
Rogan josh is a staple of Kashmiri cuisine and is one of the main dishes of the Kashmiri multicourse meal (the wazwan).
“Introducing the new, fragrant Lamb Rogan Josh from @breadstreetkitchen – served with saffron rice and warm garlic naan!” the chef wrote as he shared a video on his instagram on March 12.
Chef Ramsay can be seen plating lamb rogan josh that he served with naan.
The video has garnered millions of views since being posted on the social media with people criticising Ramsay for ‘ improperly’ cooking the mutton delicacy.
Awww Ramsey! Looks nothing like a rogan josh, instagram users quipped.
A Kashmiri instagram user was quick to point out the problems in this dish and wrote, “That’s not rogan josh. The cut of the meat is wrong. The gravy is wrong. Even the naan is wrong. Being a Kashmiri who cooks and loves rogan josh, I can’t accept this dish, especially the gravy.”
“If I am served this I will just leave. You are not even close to Rogan Josh. The consistency makes me feel sick,” wrote another user pointed out.

One of the users reminded Gordon Ramsay of not using microgreens in Rogan Josh, “This is not rogan josh. This is mutton served in gravy. Also,authentic Kashmiri Rogan Josh is never garnished with microgreens.”
Some even accused the chef of “whitewashing” their cuisine.
Another netizen said, “Rogan literally means the pool of oil in which the dish is cooked and at the end of the cooking, it is supposed to float on top of the dish when served. The one shown here looks like some generic gravy made with tomato.”
Traditionally, rogan josh is made with lamb, mutton, or goat meat and is coloured and flavoured primarily by alkanet root and Kashmiri chilies. It is one of the signature recipes of Kashmiri cuisine.
