The cuisine of the valley city of Srinagar is rather flexible; while it can
serve as a daily family meal, it can also do duty for a 36-course king's feast.
This 32-course meal is termed as the 'Wazawan' and is generally a wedding menu.
However, you can also opt for something on a medium scale when you visit the
city of Srinagar too. There are many popular restaurants in Srinagar to help
you along that route.
A few dishes that are worth a try are the 'rista' or meat balls, 'tabak maz'
or fried rib meat, the 'roganjosh' and 'yakhni'. However, if you are a confirmed
veggie and meat is a strict no-no for you then too there is not much to worry
over. The valley city has a loaded larder to cater to every preference and taste.
Some of the favorite vegetarian fare include the 'dum-aloo' or roasted potatoes
and 'chaman- fried paneer'. Also it would do you good to wash down a hearty
meal with the most preferred local drink called 'kahva' or green-tree liquor.
Desserts are not a feature of this spice loving land, so you will not find sweet
meat specialties in the valley city. Also you could try out typically Kashmiri
breads like 'sheermal' and 'baqerkhani' which are a Kashmiri breakfast staple;
