An anonymous manual of cookery, based on recipes used in Shahjahan's kitchens in ten aqsam. The colophon incorrectly calls this work Khan [Khvan]-i ni'mat which is the title of a well known work by Niʻmat Khān ʻAlī.

Explicit: تمت تمام شد رساله علويخان بتاريخ هشتم شهر جمادى الثاني سنه 1242...الراقم ...شیخ غلام حسین
