Rogan Josh
If you are in Kashmir, you cannot miss this dish. 
It is the signature dish and the best one in the 
whole country. For all the meat lovers, it is a

they brought some rich food culture along with 
them and it has stayed in the country or good. 
Try it with naan or rice and you will end up 
wanting more with each bite. The goodness of 
grounded spices makes it irresistible.
 Modur Pulav
• Sweetened rice prepared with cinnamon, 
a little saffron, milk, ghee, sugar, cashew 
nuts, almonds, and green cardamom 
takes you to heaven. One bite and you 
are left with a foodgasm. The best part 
about the pulav is that it is an authentic 
Kashmiri dish because even the saffron 
used in it is grown in Kashmir only. You 
would have never tasted the distinct taste 
of the rice. Moreover, we can’t even start 
to describe the gorgeous color of the rice.

taste to it. If you are visiting Jammu and

vegetarians as well and they are equally 
delicious. The unique flavor of Dum Aaloo is

phenomenal. This dish is a mixture of

during the festival ‘Gaaada Bata’ in December 
and if you are having it, know that it is a sign 
of celebration around you! The dish has a 
unique taste because of local spices and herbs 
used in it.
Aab Gosht
• Okay, we know this list is majorly about meat 
but we can’t help it. Kashmiri food is famous 
for its variety of meat dishes. There are over 
30 dishes that feature meat as the main 
hero. This one is one of them. Aab Ghost can 
be prepared in two ways, Kashmiri and 
Iranian. Kashmiri Aab Ghost is prepared in 
milk and several spices including cardamom 
and black pepper.
Goshtaba
• We think Kashmiris are obsessed with yogurt as 
they cook most of their minced meatballs in 
yogurt. This dish is similar. Goshtaba is also 
known as a dish for the kings. Yogurt gravy full 
of spices is cooked on royal occasions and the 
royal taste is going to urge you to eat more and 
more of it.

• It is basically a local bread that has pan shape 
and has the thick crust to itself. It is made up of 
whole wheat and can serve with butter tea. If 
you are wondering what a butter tea is then let 
us help you out. It is a combination of butter and 
salt.
Lyodur Tschaman
• Who said Kashmiri food was all 
about meat? We didn’t! This 
veggie treasure is proof. This 
purely vegetarian dish is basically 
cottage cheese in turmeric gravy. 
This dish is an everyday dish in 
most households. It has plenty of 
flavors in it and you cannot miss 
this one when you visit Kashmir 
next.

• This pink colored tea is not what it looks 
like. It’s no Starbucks drink. It has a rich and
