The ultimate formal banquet in Kashmir is the royal Wazwan. Of its thirty-six courses, between fifteen and thirty can be preparations of meat, cooked overnight by the master chef, Vasta Waza, and his retinue of wazas. Guests are seated in groups of four and share the meal out of a large metal plate called the trami. One of the seven must-have dishes for this banquet is Rogan Josh (red lamb stew). This blend is slightly spicy and is a great help in making a superb version of this traditional dish.
