Origins Of Kashmir

More than a banquet—a sacred ritual of kinship and living Kashmiri heritage.

While a traditional royal Wazwan features 36 elaborate courses, here is the journey of 4 iconic dishes captured in this video:

1. Gushtaba – Fresh lamb hand-pounded for hours on stone with a wooden mallet into an ultra-silken paste, later poached in fragrant cardamom-yogurt gravy.

2. Rista – Hand-beaten meatballs gently simmered in a vibrant, fiery saffron and Kashmiri red chili broth.

3. Tabak Maaz – Tender lamb ribs braised in spiced milk, then slow-crisped in pure bubbling ghee over open fire.

4. Kababs – Spiced minced lamb shaped onto long iron skewers, roasted over glowing embers to anchor the Trami.

Four people. One Trami. A culinary rhythm perfected across centuries and unbroken by time.
