I guess kehwa and kahwa is much like Shahnaz and Shehnaz some people write and pronounce the name as Shahnaz while others prefer Shehnaz, I do not think there is any difference in the meaning.<br />Shilpi Bosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17815522172951304358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117006110495922887.post-56920753152591801672013-05-09T00:08:09.963-07:002013-05-09T00:08:09.963-07:00Yes, it was a wonderful experience.

I loved Srinagar - still do. <br /><br />It's spelled (well, transcribed, actually, since I'm writing in English) interchangeably as 'kehwa' or 'kahwa'. It <i>is</i> sweetish, because it's usually served with sugar. <i>Noon cha</i>, though I've never drunk it, is a different type of tea, but from what I recall, the difference is not of region; both kehwa and noon cha are drunk in the Kashmir Valley. If I recall correctly, noon cha is a black tea while kehwa is (definitely) a green tea.<br /><br />Ladakh has its own version of salted tea, known as gudgud chai - comes heavily laced with yak butter, and resembles a soup more than tea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117006110495922887.post-31554342876347490942013-05-08T05:48:42.375-07:002013-05-08T05:48:42.375-07:00You spent 3 years in Srinagar, it must have been a...You spent 3 years in Srinagar, it must have been a beautiful experience. By the way Madhu, are there different varieties of this tea? You have spelt it as kehwa whereas in the menu card it was spelt kahwa besides when we visited Kashmir we heard the people there pronounce it as kahwa. This one was sweetish. When my brother mentioned the other variety of kahwa he had tasted earlier which was salty, Mr Mattoo informed us that it is called <i>noon cha</i>. I guess differnt regions have different varieties isn't it?

Fortunately, Delhi has a couple of good Kashmiri restaurants, so whenever my husband and I get a craving for Kashmiri food, we go along and treat ourselves to a meal. <br /><br />Incidentally, the kehwa is brewed by putting in cardamom, cinnamon (and some people add ginger, too) into the boiling water, followed by the kehwa leaves. Saffron is traditionally added, along with the slivered almonds. It's utterly addictive.
