MUST-TRY DISHES

MUSLIM ROGAN JOSH

With its rich gravy and vibrant flavour, this lamb dish is one my favourite traditional Kashmiri foods. It’s very different to the rogan josh we’re used to eating in the West — Kashmiri Muslims tend to use praan, a type of shallot, plus garlic and cockscomb flower for colouring.

CHAMAN KALIYA

A Pandit dish of tender paneer cheese, cooked in a mild cardamom and fennel-scented sauce. A tasty bowl of yellow sunshine that’s perfect mopped up with a flatbread.

TABAKH MAAZ

A Kashmiri delicacy, these crispy, delicate lamb ribs are enjoyed at weddings, banquets and other celebrations. Usually eaten on their own, they can also be served as part of a trami, a traditional platter.
