unfortunately, what they 'do' in 'Indian' restaurants isn't cook Indian
food, its just a fried meat with a common stock poured over, thats why all
the dishes taste so similar, whatever you order. You do not say which
Kashmiri dish you are trying to recreate, I assume you mean you are trying
to recreate the 'Kashmiri' curry as served in a restaurant, well, it doesn't
exist, so there cannot be a recipe for it. Every restaurant will have its
own recipe for the stock and spicing (if there is any!) so you pays yer
money. A recent survey of restaurant chicken tikka masala suggested the only
common ingredient was the chicken!. Nuff said?
