Travel Writing With Peter Carty: Dilara Uyghur Restaurant

Peter Carty runs short travel writing courses online and in London. As one of the UK’s most experienced travel writing teachers and coaches, his tailored approach is a staple of the travel writing scene. A one-day workshop, or four evening classes – Peter guarantees that he never pads out material as pretext for higher prices. His assignment allowed me to travel through Dilara , an Uyghur restaurant in Finchley.

Despite it being emphasised in thick black ink on the menu, I am assured 3 times further that Tugure dumplings will take 25 minutes, because every ingredient down to the dough is freshly made from scratch. The team at Dilara have clearly learned that patience is not a virtue harboured by London locale.

What started life as a Turkish restaurant 15 years ago, has now become an Uyghur hybrid, and although its new owners highlight the Uyghur heritage, the lead chef smiles over the counter at me as she explains that the cuisine is essentially “the same”.

Many of their chefs come armed with diplomas in their subjects, and as 1 of just 6 Uyghur restaurants in London, they’ve put the time into building strong foundations. Serving traditional dishes from Xinjiang, this region in north-western China has its own distinct flavours, heavily influenced by its position along the old Silk Road.

The open plan kitchen by the entrance boasts window displays of large plate chicken (a signature spiced dish), fried rice noodles and grilled meats. A popular dish is leghmen – hand-pulled noodles topped with stir-fried vegetables and mutton. Its name likely derives from the Chinese ‘lamian’, but its flavour and preparation are distinctly Uyghur. Here, there are no starters, but traditionally there is time for tea, naan, and fruit.

The minutes fly by, and steamed parcels of minced lamb and beef mixed with onions and herbs arrive, accompanied by a generous pot of traditional Uyghur tea. Dilara both live to eat and eat to live, balancing vitality of body and soul alike.

The steamy tonic is an antidote to the world that exists beyond the threshold, made with remedies promoting “relaxation and sleep”: wolfberries, dandelion, red dates, hawthorn, and rosebuds; Aromatic plants common to Unani – traditional Uyghur medicine. Historically used in the Mughal Empire,  scholar  Sir Percy Sykes described it as ‘based on the ancient Greek theory’.

As with their cuisine,  Uyghur medicine  is the science and synthesis of the wisdom of its people, being its own theoretical system combining practical experience with a unique method of diagnosis and treatment, which is still treasured by traditional Chinese craft. The Uyghur have long been skilled in the aromatic arts, wielding lavender, vanilla, safflower, coriander, chicory, clove, cardamom, and long pepper, as savoury sustenance and soothing spice.

For dessert I  treat  myself to the Uyghur milk tea, a sweetened black brew with butter, cream, and salt. Take-away cups aren’t part of the artillery, so it’s boxed up for later – timing is everything and “milk and herbs don’t mix”.

Glancing up to get the cheque, a carpeted wall bears a sombre ensemble – puppeteered by a silent score, leisurely placed beside a bright canvas of bacchanalia, beauty, and dance. Two of the most distinctive pieces of Uyghur art infuse the space with the tale of a lifetime, “because it portrays everything from our culture. Any expert would recognise it at once.”

Muqam by Ghazi Ahmet (1984) is considered an integral part of Uyghur life, and its identifying threads are woven throughout homes, restaurants, and establishments. From the world-famous Buddhist cave paintings of Dunhuang, traditional Uyghur art includes handicrafts, embroidery, carpet-making, and calligraphy. Modern Uyghur art is defined as beginning after 1933, representing the shift from artisan  to artist. The most famous of these is the Uyghur Muqam.

‘Muqam’ refers to an accompaniment of musical arrangements, widespread throughout the communities of East Turkistan (also known as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). A combination of songs, dances, and melodies characterised by their diversity of content, choreography, folk and classical styles, which have been cultivated throughout the centuries.

This distinctive community practice incorporates themes from many cultures in Central Asia, a legacy from the Eastern and Western exchanges of the Silk Road. The rewap and the dutar are notable string instruments, played by subjects in regional clothing, with each man bearing a doppa – the Uyghur hat.

By the side of the Muqam, the  Meshrep  from the same artist (1977), is infused with fertile femininity. Gaily dancing to the beat of their own drums, the celebrated piece is widely considered provocative, and has historically evoked criticism from those of a more conservative stance.

These iconic paintings are believed by many to highlight the history of their people, by sharing important insights with the contemporary culture of today. And the Uyghurs have good reason to be fierce in the face of their heritage. While many of Dilara’s clientele are Chinese, and are welcomed in fluent dialect, back home China’s genocidal policies have deprived a minority population of freedom and a voice.

According to human rights groups and first-hand accounts, between 1 and 2 million members of this Turkic ethnic group native to Xinjiang, alongside members of other ethnic minorities, are believed to be held in Chinese concentration camps where they are forced to study Marxism, renounce their religion, submit to slave labour, and face extensive abuse. Beijing claims that these extreme ‘re-education camps’ provide vocational training as anti-extremist measures.

The defence China has received from other countries reveals a greater reality: the convenience of supporting China benefits several nations at significant socioeconomic and political levels. This, apparently, outweighs the plight of the people. Leaving a solemn certitude to cleanse the palette.

A horrifying glimpse of syria’s torture cells.

A young Syrian man is walking down a street in Damascus. He is a computer geek who likes rock music and basketball, and he’s enjoying his summer break from university. A car draws up beside him. He’s shoved inside and blindfolded. Shortly after, he finds himself strung up by his wrists in a dungeon. A

Steam trains make a comeback under the guise of heritage

So far as most of us are concerned, steam trains vanished in a puff of smoke back in the 1960s, around the time much of the railway network itself disappeared. Other than a few survivors pulling day-trippers along short stretches of track, the received wisdom is that steam is over. Yet the reality is different.

Zimbabwe’s chaotic history has at least produced some outstanding fiction

Tsitsi Dangarembga’s arresting Nervous Conditions appeared in 1988 and was the first novel published in English by a black Zimbabwean woman. She is now in mid-career, prominent among those writers who have emerged since independence, who include Petina Gappah, NoViolet Bulawayo and Tendai Huchu. The reason for this flowering of talent cannot be nailed down,

The deadly war game of the Battle of the Atlantic

My father served in the Royal Navy during the second world war. He drank over-proof rum and smoked unfiltered cigarettes, both free of charge, while wearing a uniform that enhanced his natural attractions. What more could any teenager want? Of course, there were hazards in store when he set out from Liverpool. Worst of all

Guns and poppies

My uncle Edward did not like talking about his service in Burma during the second world war. When I asked him what fighting in the jungle was like, his response was brief. ‘Grown men were crying for their mothers,’ he said, and would say no more: the worst combat theatre of that war was not

A sea of troubles

Donal Ryan is one of the most notable Irish writers to emerge this decade. So far he has produced five volumes of fiction set in post-millennial Ireland. What sets him apart is a striking facility for narrative voice as well as a startling diversity of protagonists. His first novel, The Spinning Heart — about a

Fit for the gods

For many of us, coffee is the lift that eases the load of our working day. Yet the sharpened mental focus it offers is rarely directed towards its origins. Coffee’s birthplace is Ethiopia and its beans remain high on caffeine aficionados’ hit lists. They produce smooth brews that carry an extraordinary range of tastes —

Puffing through the Punjab

‘I went to a restaurant the other day called Taste of the Raj. The waiter hit me with a stick and got me to build a complicated railway system.’ The comedian Harry Hill’s gag is an acerbic commentary on the British empire, but there can be no doubt that India’s modern history is intimately intertwined

The last great adventure

Towards the end of his life, Robert Louis Stevenson travelled widely in the central and southern Pacific Ocean. As well as the region’s exotic reputation, he was drawn by hopes that its benign climate would alleviate his chronic bronchial problems. In 1889 he arrived in Samoa and decided to settle there. He was a hit

The last great pandemic

The symptoms of the Spanish flu could be ghastly. Perhaps Laura Spinney should have chosen her title with more care because rather than becoming pale and interesting, as with tuberculosis, frequently the flu’s victims turned completely black before dying. ‘It is hard,’ one US army doctor observed, ‘to distinguish the colored men from the white.’

Descent into hell

In my work as a reviewer, a small, steady proportion of all the books publishers send me concern the Holocaust. With middle age has come a curious foreshortening of my perspective on modern history so that, paradoxically, the Nazis’ inhumanity has begun to seem less distant in time and, therefore, more horrible still. Fortunately I

Unsentimental journeys

The Pianist

Wladyslaw Szpilman

Phoenix £7.99, pp 222

Holocaust memoirs share common properties. Their impact fades as each story of miraculous survival becomes a palimpsest for the next. All of them are futile synecdoches for ungraspable volumes of horror. And within each is discernible a carefully constructed template for evil, as erosion of civil liberties gives way to mass murder.

Now a Polanski-directed film, Szpilman's account was written shortly after the war. Presumably his trauma lent this prose its terrifying detachment. After escaping the Warsaw ghetto he hid in the city for years as it was slowly levelled around him. He was reduced to a child-like dependency on other Poles. Some turned away, one of them starved and robbed him, but several gave him refuge. Astonishingly, he owed his final survival to a German army officer, Wilm Hosenfeld, who hid and fed him. An appendix contains extracts from Hosenfeld's diaries. Desperately moving.

How I Came Into My Inheritance, And Other True Stories

Dorothy Gallagher

Picador £6.99, pp188

Dorothy Gallagher is tough. Very tough. In the title story of this collection she foils a low-life called Roy from conning her father out of his life savings, unhesitatingly resorting to brutal duplicity during a deathbed row. Not that dad was easy to deal with. This obstinate, Steptoe-like nonagenarian refused to waste money on central heating or to acknowledge his wife's continuous tumbles onto the floor beside him. An extremely black tale indeed, like much of the rest of the volume it is also extremely funny.

Dot's parents were Ukrainian Jewish communists who moved to New York in the early 20th century and survived the hazards thrown their way by penury, political correctness and woefully eccentric relations. Dot herself became a journalist and writer; another memorable tale recounts her experiences at Screen Starts, a pulp magazine with a full complement of misfits and lunatics on its staff. Unsentimentally entertaining.

Italy and its Discontents 1980-2001

Paul Ginsborg

Penguin £9.99, pp521

Britain is similar to Italy in important respects - notably population and GDP - but demography and macroeconomics ignore glaring differences. If Britain was ever a nation of shopkeepers, Italy has hung onto its smaller retail outlets with a tenacity to make the board of J Sainsbury blanch. And the peninsula's tiny birthrate makes us appear wantonly fecund; over there mothers lack support both from their partners and from the state, it seems. But the family remains fundamental to the workings of Italian society because the wounds in civic life are so gaping: abysmal public services, a crippled tax system, unfettered bureaucracy and unconscionable disparities in regional development. Ginsborg presents exhaustive analyses of each of these.

Most detrimental of all, however, is perennial political instability and Ginsborg's direct involvement in his subject matter here - he is a pro-democracy campaigner in Florence - lends an enviable acuity to his account of the irresistible rise of Silvio Berlusconi.
