Jewel of the North. Mountainous and evergreen with subtly spiced, creamy and aromatic foods. The Kashmiri say, 'If one eats, one eats with passion', and their exotic cuisine reflect the traditions of the Mogul emperors. Lamb, goat and chicken form the basis of many dishes. Kashmiri Hindus use fenugreek , ginger and aniseed in their food, while Muslims use garlic, Kashmiri chillies , cloves and cinnamon.
Rice is the staple food.
