In the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, the well-known Kalari from the Udhampur District will be served at the G20 Summit held in Srinagar, as a special Dogra culinary item.
Key points
- Women in the district of Udhampur have been producing Kalari for decades, selling it at the market to make a living, but they haven’t achieved fame on a national or international scale.
- Many women who are part of a self-help group in the Dheeran village of Udhampur district, which is sponsored by UMEED, now prepare large quantities of Kalaris at home and are now getting good prices for their produce.
- Kalari, traditionally a Chenani, Ramnagar, Udhampur cheese, is an authentic Dogra cheese and often made part of various cheese-based cuisines.
