Wazwan: The Royal Feast of Kashmir

Published on June 28, 2024 by Fatima Sheikh

Dive into the rich culinary traditions of Kashmir with Wazwan, a multi-course meal that is a treat for the senses and a cornerstone of local culture.

The Art of Wazwan

Wazwan is not just a meal; it's a ceremony. This elaborate feast, comprising mostly of meat-based dishes, is prepared by a team of master chefs known as 'Wazas'. The preparation is considered an art, passed down through generations.

Must-Try Dishes:

  • Rista: Delicious meatballs in a fiery red gravy.
  • Goshtaba: Soft meatballs cooked in a creamy yogurt gravy.
  • Tabak Maaz: Fried lamb ribs that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Experiencing a true Wazwan is to experience the heart of Kashmiri hospitality and culture.
