Noon chai is an acquired taste, salty pink tea confused me at first but now I make it at home
Where is the Kashmiri pulao and the kahwa? Kahwa with almonds in winter is a must.
Kahwa isn't really part of the wazwan though, it's served after or at home
Nadru yakhni should be its own entry honestly
Had a full wazwan in Srinagar years ago, 30-something dishes. Still dreaming about the tabak maaz.
Great list, dum aloo is the best vegetarian option if you can't eat meat.
Haakh so low? We eat it every single day, it's the real taste of home.
Rogan josh at the top is fair but for me gushtaba is the king of the wazwan. Nothing comes close.
As a Kashmiri I approve this list. Rista and gushtaba are what we wait for at every wedding.
