Haakh in Kashmiri tradition
Haak, or collard greens, is arguably the most fundamental vegetable in the Kashmiri diet, consumed across all seasons and communities. Waza Haak is the elevated, ceremonial version of this daily staple, prepared simply but with incredible skill to preserve its bright color and distinct, mustard-like pungency. Its inclusion in the Wazwan underscores the deep cultural respect for local, resilient crops, ensuring that even amidst the most luxurious meats, the humble essence of the Kashmiri land is represented on the dining cloth.
Tourist Tip
Order this if you want to experience the quieter side of Kashmiri cuisine rather than only the richer meat specialties.
