entry description
Khayyam Chowk is an alleyway in Sri Nagar, which is no different from other streets during daytime. But in the evening, numerous charcoal ovens are lit up by vendors and the aroma of wazwan kebabs turn this street into a food-lovers' paradise. The indulgent Kashmiri Wazwan is the culinary tradition of the valley, often referred as the heaven on earth. Traditionally Wazwan is a celebratory feast that is fastidiously prepared by the Master Chef or Ustaad (Waza) to herald the beginning of the life of a wedded couple. A cuisine that is reverent in its meat (Wan) preparations, elevates its local produce and draws from the sublime weather of the valley.about the photographer
