Description
Wazwan is the ceremonial feast tradition of Kashmir — a multi-course banquet of up to 36 dishes served on a shared platter (trami), prepared by specialist chefs called wazas. The cooking techniques are distinct from other Indian cuisines: yogurt-based gravies rather than tomato, extensive use of dried Kashmiri chillies (vivid colour, mild heat), fennel powder and dry ginger as signature spices, and a unique slow-cooking technique using a copper vessel (deg) sealed with dough and buried in hot coals. The spice profile is warm and aromatic rather than sharp — cinnamon, cardamom, clove, and saffron dominate.
