Gushtaba (Kashmiri Meatballs in Yoghurt Gravy)

Published 27/01/2021, updated 27/01/2021 4 Comments

Gushtaba recipe, Kashmiri Meatballs in yoghurt

Gushtaba is a dish of Kashmiri meatballs cooked in a creamy, tangy, almost soupy, yoghurt gravy. It takes pride of place in the legendary Kashmiri Wazwan, and is traditionally served as the last dish of the banquet. My gushtaba recipe is less “soupy”, I reduce the huge amount of stock that’s typically called for, as […]

fried onion paste, in a bowl, top shot

This fried onion paste is an aromatic, delicious paste of slow cooked onions that are blended down to a paste with no other added ingredients. Sometime last month, I started a new series here on LinsFood, focusing on Kashmiri cuisine. I have a pretty solid foundation in that, going back to the mid 90s in […]

Kashmiri Rogan Josh

Kashmiri Lamb Rogan Josh is one of the most well known Indian curries in the world. It certainly is here, in the UK. Unfortunately though, the genuine article is not easy to find in British restaurants and impossible in our takeaways. But more of that later. Before we move on, I suggest you grab a […]

Mawal, Cockscomb flower

There are many types of cockscomb flowers, with the generic name of Celosia. However, this post is about a specific type of cockscomb, known as mawal in Kashmir, Celosia Cristata (also C. Argentia).
