Kalari

Often described as the mozzarella of Kashmir, kalari is a traditionally ripened cheese made from cow’s or goat’s milk. It has a mild flavor and a dense, stretchy texture. In Jammu and Kashmir, kalari is typically enjoyed as a street snack, flattened and sautéed in its own fat until it develops a crisp golden layer on the outside while remaining creamy, tender, and gooey on the inside.
