Wazwan Wonders: 10 Royal Dishes of Kashmiri Cuisine You Must Try

What is Wazwan?

Wazwan is not just food. It's a celebration — a 36-course Kashmiri feast crafted by master chefs called ‘Wazas’.

Rogan Josh

The crown jewel — tender lamb slow-cooked in Kashmiri chili, fennel & aromatic spices. Fiery red, yet mild in heat.

Gushtaba

A royal end to the feast – minced mutton meatballs in a creamy yogurt gravy. Soft. Silky. Sublime.

Seekh Kebab

Char-grilled minced meat skewers seasoned with Kashmiri spices. Smoky, juicy, and irresistible.

Rista

Silky red meatballs in a saffron-infused gravy. A dish that showcases the Waza’s finesse.

Tabak Maaz

Lamb ribs simmered in milk & spices, then shallow fried to golden perfection. Crunchy on the outside, soft inside.

Daniwal Korma

A coriander-flavored mutton curry, lighter in texture, but full of herbal aroma.

Aab Gosht

A comforting mutton curry made with milk, cardamom, and a hint of saffron. Delicate, creamy, and soul-warming.

Marchwangan Korma

Lamb cooked in fiery Kashmiri red chillies and mustard oil. A bold, spicy favorite of the feast

Ending With Zarda or Phirni

Sweet closure – saffron rice pudding (Zarda) or creamy semolina Phirni in clay pots.
