Ingredient appreciation — what makes Khash special

What sets Khash apart is the handling of madzoon yoghurt. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the warmly herbal result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

the Armenian genocide shaped diaspora communities who carried the cuisine globally. The a Yerevan restaurant atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Armenian brandy as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Khash is the place to start.
