Marchwangan Korma
Marchwa hang korma
An extremely spicy hot mutton preparation of Kashmir region.
Kashmiri Pandits do not eat onions and garlic they prefer lamb as their primary meat source (beef of course is strictly prohibited). They also use dry ginger and asafetida as a substitute for adding that extra layer of flavor to their non-vegetarian dishes .
Kashmiris have used high-calorie foods to get the extra energy needed to boost the bone chilling cold of the winter months.
