Kashmiri Gushtaba

Most Indian regional cuisines have at least one dish of koftas—meatballs or vegetarian versions. This particular recipe is from the state of Kashmir and forms the concluding part of an exclusive ceremony called the Wazwan, a feast that can have up to thirty-six courses. This dish is served piping hot, and no one ever refuses it. It is often the last savory bite of the meal, followed by dessert and Kashmiri tea.
