Wazwan is not just a meal; it's a ceremony. This 36-course feast, prepared by master chefs called Wazas, represents Kashmiri hospitality. Served in copper vessels called traami, 4 people share from one plate. Star dishes include Rista (minced mutton balls), Rogan Josh, Tabak Maaz (fried ribs), and Gushtaba (the final dish). The meal begins with Rista and ends with sweet Phirni. Experiencing Wazwan is essential to understanding Kashmiri culture. Many restaurants in Srinagar offer mini Wazwan for tourists.
