Food!

Although Kashmir's original Pandits have lived there for millennia, other civilizations
from across the mountains have constantly been exposed to the Himalayan Valley.
Mughals and Afghans reigned over us. Preachers and tourists from Central Asia and
Persia have been sighted. All of these factors have an obvious impact on Kashmiri
cuisine.
Mughals and Afghans governed us. There have been reports of preachers and
travelers from Persia and Central Asia. Evidently, each of these variables affects
Kashmiri food. Food is constantly spiced with asafoetida, fennel, and other herbs
and spices while being cooked in mustard oil. There is no usage of tomatoes,
onions, or garlic.
In contrast to other Indian cuisines, which frequently garnish dishes with herbs like
coriander or curry leaves, this cuisine rarely does so. So I will highlight a few famous
recipes of the Kashmiri Pundit cuisine.

1. Roganjosh

This is arguably the best dish to make in Kashmir. When you will go to Kashmir you will definitely eat these Lamb pieces cooked in a flavorful sauce of oil, asafoetida, and other Indian spices used to temper fennel and red chili powders. That taste is very good you will edict of this dish.

Lamb pieces cooked with asafoetida, turmeric, fennel, and other rich spices of India in high fat. Its delicate flavor is gentle on the stomach. It is also a very healthy dish.

3. Tsok Vangun

literally means "tangy brinjals." Long, pink, deep-fried brinjals are seasoned with asafoetida. The flavor of tamarind or lemon and fennel powder in the luscious brinjals tingles the taste senses. These dishes are one of the favorite dish of Kashmiri pandits

4. Matcz

This is a must-try dish on the menu, just like the Roganjosh. Various spices and oils are used to flavor the minced beef before it is formed into finger-long cylindrical rolls. They are afterward simmered in water with a potpourri of different spices. The boneless delicacy is served with both tandoori flatbread and cooked rice.

5. Yakhin

It is typically available on saal (feast) menus. After being sautéed over asafoetida, lamb chops are simmered in a rich sauce composed of curd and fennel powder. It takes Yakhin's delicate flavours to counteract Roganjosh and Matcz's hot flavors.

7. Haakh & Monj’e Haakh

To a Kashmiri, "Haakh te batt'e" is equivalent to "Dal Chawal" to someone from the plains. If Roganjosh is the king of Kashmiri cuisine, Haakh is the queen. Steamed collard greens (Haakh) and Knol Khol (Monje Haakh) with asafoetida and entire red or green chilies. It is served with every extravagant feast or every meagre meal consumed on a daily basis.

We provide numerous variations of Tsaman or cottage cheese for individuals who do not want to eat non-vegetarian meals.

So we have a Lyder Tsaman cooked in the same manner as the yellow lamb Kalieye.

9. Gaad’e

The river-rich region has an abundance of freshwater fish such as trout and carp. Fish is commonly served with vegetables, such as Mujj'e Gaad (fish with Turnip slices) and Gaad'e Nadur (fish with Nadur) (fish with Lotus Stem). Always deep fried and smothered in oil, chili, and fennel powder gravy. Consumed with simple boiling rice.
