A Cookbook of All Popular Kashmiri Dishes

along with a Guide to Healthy Eating

Kashmiris are hospitable by nature. They enjoy social life and mutual entertainment. This has been one main cause of the development of their culinary art. Different types of menus were also inspired by the cuisines of different rulers and visitors, who came in the past from Persia, Afghanistan and other places. Mughals especially had a great influence on the cooking of Meat Dishes and different Pulavs. Emperors Jehangir and Shahjehan, with their lovely queens, their courtiers and kith and kin, made Kashmir their health resort and a place of sport, enjoyment, eating and drinking. Shahjehan used to visit Kashmir every summer and called it a Paradise on Earth. Jehangir's last wish, at his death, was 'Kashmir and Nothing else'. >>>
