It’s a plethora of Kashmiri food festivals in Delhi NCR. Radisson Blu Kaushambi Delhi NCR takes you through a journey of the Valley’s culinary delights at its all-day dining restaurant, Kama through the Kashmiri Food Festival. Curated by Chef Vishal Nigam, this festival showcases the best of the Muslim cuisine in the valley, Wazwaan.
What is wazwaan?
A wazwaan is a multi course meal which is characteristic of Kashmir. But the most important fact is “It is called a Wazwaan only if a Waza cooks the dishes”, points out Executive Chef Vivek Kapoor. The festival is on till 5th of March and is part of the regular menu at Latest Recipe. The Waza brings forth his family’s recipes as he uses wood fire to give the food it’s characteristic taste. As the ingredients and recipes are kept secret inside the Waza family, it is indeed a rarity to find the authenticity of the wazwaan outside of the valley.
The Traami platter is our first course. It refers to the large plate that serves four persons, on which is a bed of rice with four starters. First comes WazaKakor – half a chicken, second comes Tabak Maaz followed by Methi Maas and Seekh Kebab. The mains included the all time favourites Rogan Josh but it were the vegetarian mains that took our heart away with a perfect Dum Aloo Kashmiri and Methi Chaman. We combined it with some plain steamed rice. We polished off the meal with a Phirni. With fragrant aromas and flavours which remains of the palate, the Kashmiri food at Kama is surely something that will surely be awaited again.
