Kashmiri Wazwan: A Multi-Course Feast of Kashmiri Cuisine

Kashmiri Wazwan is a traditional feast in Kashmiri cuisine that consists of around 36-50 dishes served in a particular sequence. It is a unique component of Kashmiri culture and a symbol of their heritage. It is usually served on special occasions like weddings, festivals, and religious ceremonies. Kashmiri Wazwan is popular because of its mouth-watering flavor and savory characteristics.

The preparation of Wazwan is a time-consuming process and requires skill and patience. The dishes are usually served on a large copper platter called a "traem", and it is customary for guests to eat with their hands while seated on the floor. 

In the Kashmiri Language, ‘waza’ means cook, and ‘wan’ means shop. Wazwan is actually associated with Kashmiri Muslims, in which four people eat together from traem, and the cooks charge money per traem.
