The 25-Course Feast: Inside the Labor-Intensive Art of Kashmiri Wazwan
In short: In Kashmir, a wedding is defined by the wazwan, a massive multi-course banquet. This video explores the grueling two-day preparation process and the specialized team required to execute such a culinary marathon.
The wazwan is a traditional feast consisting of between 25 and 36 courses, served during weddings and other significant celebrations in Kashmir, India. Preparing this meal is a monumental task that requires a large team of skilled chefs known as wazas.
The term waza literally translates to "cook" in Kashmiri. Because of the complexity and scale of the meal, the preparation is not a single-day event; it takes two full days for the chefs to prepare the various components of the feast.
