Meat balls dish of Kashmir

About this dish

Goshtaab, also spelled goshtaba, is a traditional Kashmiri dish that holds a significant place in the region's culinary heritage. Often referred to as the "king of Kashmiri wazwan," goshtab is a rich and aromatic meatball curry made from finely minced mutton, yogurt, and a blend of spices. It is typically served as a final course in the traditional multi-course Kashmiri feast known as wazwan. The origins of goshtaab are rooted in the culinary traditions of Kashmir, which have been influenced by Central Asian, Persian, and Mughal cuisine. The dish is believed to have been introduced to the region during the reign of the Mughal emperors, who brought with them a tradition of meat-based dishes. Over time, goshtaab evolved into a distinctive Kashmiri specialty, reflecting the region's unique blend of spices and cooking techniques.
