Kashmiri Cuisine & Food

[nameeta]

Kashmiri cuisine is essentially meat-based. Lamb, goat's meat and chicken form the basis of many a famous dish. It is flavored delicately with saffron and kashmiri chilies which are not too spicy but impart a rich red color to the food.
The abundance of dry fruit like walnuts, dried dates, and apricots also inspire the Kashmiri connoisseur to use them lavishly in puddings, curries and snacks.
Cottage cheese or chaman as it is called, is also a popular accompaniment to many meats and vegetables. Fresh water fish like trout found in the numerous fresh water streams flowing down from the Himalayas is also a delicacy.
Food is generally followed by a generous serving of fresh fruits like strawberries, plums, cherries and apples which grow here and not all over India due to the cool climate.

erm ok! im kashmiri and i do not consider it part of India! and im talking bout occupied kashmir! most kashmris dont want to be classified as indians! so i dont understand why indians keep insisting on calling kashmiris indians?! its highly irritating!

[India1989]

Kashmir is considered Indian cause it is a part of India and Kashmiris themselves opted to be a part of India. It doesn't seem that you are a Kashmiri. Maybe you are a Pakistani trying to act like a Kashmiri.

Maybe you are from POK. It doesn't matter what you says. What mattes is what Kashmiris say. They want to be a part of India rather then being a part of Pakistan.

WEll this kinda happens that people immitate a certain culture or ethnicity and goes against India.

I am also not here to fight. Had lots of stupid fight with China. I was really mad when another post by you sprang up which was trying to prove that Kashmir wasn't our part and all these anti-India stuffs.

Kashmiri foods are delicious and as far as i know they are heavy food and really spicey. Yeah they do have lots of nuts and stuffs. I have a question. DOes Kashmiri foods differ from Jammu foods, Ladakhi foods and Baltistani foods?

It was very interesting to read about kashmiri food. We don't find kashmiri restaurants around.

We are all animals of the same species, forget hatred for a while and let us love humanity. Kashmiri food, and its people, are both fantastic, and it does not matter what power-mongers say to brainwash us all!! :)
