Being called ‘Heaven On Earth’ by kings is definitely a true statement when you visit Kashmir. However, the only thing more magnificent than the hills, mountains, and the valley is-yes you’re right-the food. Kashmir happens to be heavenly not only in terms of it’s scenery, but also in it’s wide variety of culinary items. Here is a mouth-watering list of 15 Kashmiri foods that you need to try before you die.

9. Yakhni (Mutton in a curd gravy)

To be completely honest, Yakhni is one of the best things to have happened to the world. Juicy mutton pieces marinated and mixed with a rich curd gravy mixed with turmeric, cinnamon, fennel, and salt. Ah, the beauty of cooking. No, the beauty of eating.

10. Al Yakhni (Gourd in a curd gravy)

No, no. Before you make a face at the title, you should know that gourd (lauki) tastes amazing when cooked right. And who better than Kashmiris to cook even the most boring food exceptionally well?! Just as the mutton mentioned above, Al is also cooked the same way-fried with a curd gravy. Yum yum.
