Wazawan is a 36 course wedding banquet usually served at weddings and parties of Kashmir. Of its thirty-six courses, between fifteen and thirty can be preparations of meat. Guests are seated in groups of four and share the meal out of a large metal plate called the trami.
The most commonly served items are rista (meat balls) made of finely pounded mutton and cooked in a gravy, seekh kababs, tabak maz, or flat pieces of meat cut and fried till they acquire a crisp crackling texture, roganjosh, which owes its rich red colour to the generous use of Kashmiri chilies. Yakhni, a cream coloured preparation of delicate flavour, is made with curd as a base. Goshtaba(meat balls) is the last item to be served in a traditional wazawan.
