Chaman Qaliya is a creamy cottage cheese curry scented with fennel and cardamom that belongs to Kashmiri Cuisine. An aromatic curry that is cooked in milk and flavoured with Kashmiri spices is a perfect vegetarian side dish commonly served on special occasions in the valley.

The Kashmiris mostly rely on non vegetarian food , expect the pandits. The vegetarians have a very few options left. They mostly eat Lotus stem, Potatoes or Paneer. Hence the Kashmiri cuisine carries a variety of Paneer dishes out of which one most exotic curry is Chaman Qaliya. The lemon yellow coloured gravy is slow cooked with paneer and gets it's exotic colour by adding saffron and turmeric. The curry is easy to cook and has mild flavours. Healthy and very appetizing as well.
