The varied cultural influences in the area are reflected in the flavorful and traditional cuisine of Kashmir. Saffron, cardamom, and cloves are effectively used to season staple foods including rice, lamb, and vegetables. Yakhni, a delicate mutton stew cooked with yogurt, and Rogan Josh, a fragrant lamb curry, are signature dishes. Over 30 courses of delicious food are served at Wazwan, a lavish feast that highlights the culinary skill of Kashmiri cuisine. Tandoori breads like as sheermaal and lavasa go well with these savoury treats. With each bite, sweet treats like saffron-infused rice pudding, or phirni, provide a delightful end to a Kashmiri meal.
