Wazwan is not just a meal; it is an experience and a celebration of Kashmiri culture. This multi-course feast primarily features lamb or chicken dishes, prepared with rich spices like saffron, fennel, and dry ginger.
The preparation is considered an art, traditionally done by a head chef called a Vasta Waza. Signature dishes include Rogan Josh, Gushtaba, and Tabakh Maaz. Eating Wazwan together from a single copper platter, known as a Traami, signifies unity and brotherhood.
