From the aromatic Wazwan feast to humble street food, explore the rich culinary traditions of Kashmir. Discover dishes that have been perfected over centuries.
Kashmiri cuisine is a rich tapestry of flavors, influenced by centuries of trade and cultural exchange. The use of dried fruits, saffron, and aromatic spices sets it apart from other Indian cuisines.
1. Rogan Josh
The crown jewel of Kashmiri cuisine, Rogan Josh is a slow-cooked lamb curry that gets its deep red color from Kashmiri chilies. The meat is so tender it falls off the bone.
2. Yakhni
A yogurt-based lamb curry, Yakhni is comfort food at its finest. The subtle flavors of fennel and cardamom make it a must-try for those who prefer milder spices.
3. Kashmiri Kahwa
No Kashmiri meal is complete without Kahwa—a saffron-infused green tea garnished with almonds and served in traditional samovars.
