Mini Vaazvaan at Mir’s – Kashmiri dinner


Dinner at Mir's

One example for dinner menu for kashmiri food would be dinner at Mir’s. Aunty Sara and Uncle Mir invited my parents when they were visiting US. They had what I call a mini vaazvaan! Vaazvaan means the food served at a typical Kashmir wedding. It consists of several meat/poultry preparations like kebabs, koftas, tandoori style etc etc. It never ends.

In the same way, Aunty Sara always had an elaborate menu. Hence I call it mini-Vaazvaan :) . Infact the above picture doesnt show all the dishes Aunty had that nite. There were just too many for my poor camera to capture. But I think there were 2-3 vegetables, pilaf, tandoori chicken etc etc along with the meat dishes that can be seen in the picture.
Being Kashmiri food week, I think it is appropriate to post the pictures of the food even though I dont have the recipes as yet.

Dessert - Kunafa baked style, and pineapple delight

Above picture is of dessert we had that night: Kunafa and Pineapple delight.

Hmm….now all I need are the recipes :) ….Aunty Sara …please help! :)
