A holiday always seems incomplete without good food. It is true that the food of any city or country reflects its culture and what can be better than filling your stomach with some of the best local delicacies when you are on vacation. Take some inspiration from the journey of TV personality Mini Mathur and her girls who are setting major goals for food lovers. She is currently in Egypt having some delicious food with her friends, actresses Sayani Gupta, Reshmi Kurien and Smriti Kiran. Her latest Instagram reels seems like a gift to all her foodie followers. He ate Egyptian food and left us a little hungry and jealous.
Their delicious meals included classic dishes such as hummus, baba ghanoush, labneh, walnut muhammara, kofte, semak, tabbouleh made with fresh parsley, and fatoush salad with baladi bread at Biota in Zamalek by the Nile.

A while back, Mini gave us a sneak peek of Kashmiri delicacies, which instantly made us feel hungry. It was then that he celebrated Eid in the beautiful green valleys of Kashmir.

In the caption, he wrote, “Kashmiri wazwan has been my favorite culinary experience, but sadly there are very few traditional vez (cooks) left in the valley.” Kashmiri Wazwan is not just a simple meal of Kashmir, it is a feast and a ceremony, she explained.
