Kangri Dham

Being of Himachali descent means a lot of good things.

One of these is the ability to occasionally enjoy Kangri Dham, which is a ceremonial meal served in traditional style. It is much like langer in the manner of serving.

Rice is served with daal and chutney/maani/malanji etc.

What makes it totally unique is the different kind of chutneys (there are different names for them in Pahari/Dogri). Different kinds of daal and chutneys are served for the taste to come on waves of salt, sweet and sour.

On top of that eating it with your fingers makes it difficult. All you want to do is to stuff the unique goodness in your mouth as fast as possible...but your fingers are burning all the way.

Most recommended experience.
