Kashmiri cuisine
has evolved over hundreds of years. The first major influence was the food of
the Kashmiri Pandits, the Hindus of the valley.
, Kashmir and its food has been strongly influenced by the cuisines of
Central Asia, Persia, Middle East and Afghanistan.
Kashmiri food is very elaborate
and usually uses a lot of yogurt, oils and spices as such turmeric, but avoids
onion, garlic, tomatoes, and chicken.
Chickpea,
also garbanzo bean, chana (north India), is an edible legume.
Chickpeas are high in protein and one of the earliest cultivated
vegetables; 7,500-year-old remains have been found in the Middle East.
The name "chickpea" traces back through the French
chiche to Latin
cicer. The Oxford English Dictionary cites "Chick-pea" in the
mid-18th century; the original word in
English was chich, found in print in English in 1388, and taken directly from
French.
Naan is a round flatbread made of
white flour. Naan is a staple
accompaniment to hot meals in India.
