Cooking vocabulary / Community topic
Dum, kacchi, pakki — what does your recipe actually do?
Some words describe the starting ingredients. Others describe the finish. Let’s untangle them.
To get the conversation started…
Kacchi and pakki concern the preparation of components before assembly; dum concerns a covered cooking finish. Layering is another part of the workflow. These terms overlap rather than forming three competing regional teams. Follow a complete recipe for practical instructions: this discussion starter gives no cooking times or raw-meat procedure.
Your turn
How does your chosen recipe describe preparation, assembly and the covered finish?
