Tuji (Kashmiri pronunciation: [t̪ud͡ʒi]) or Tuj (Kashmiri pronunciation: [t̪ud͡ʒ]) (singular of tuje), also called Seekh Tuj (Kashmiri pronunciation: [siːxɨ t̪ud͡ʒ]) is a popular street food in Kashmir made from meat, typically mutton or fish, known for its flavorful and smoky taste, often served with various chutneys and dips.[1][2]
Serving and Accompaniments
Tuj is typically served hot, garnished with fresh coriander or mint leaves. It pairs well with Kashmiri lavasa (a type of flatbread). A side of yogurt or a simple salad can complement the dish, balancing its rich and spicy flavors.[3][4]
