Kashmir is known for its unique food culture throughout the world. People had developed the distinct food culture of their own from a very remote period. However, with the occupation of the region by the foreigners, new cultures and customs were introduced along with them. The drastic change could be seen during the Sultanate period as this period witnessed the arrival of many new social groups from different parts of the world particularly from Central Asia and Persia. These new people introduced their own cuisines in the region which were welcomed and espoused by the local people. The Mughal occupation of the region also added the new cuisines, hence making the local food culture more rich and diverse. The present paper aims to study the development of food culture in Kashmir during the medieval period.
