What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals?
Lucknow, the city where I reside and belong to, is a city blessed with one of the finest cuisines in India as well as internationally.
The splendid, succulent kebabs, the rich and spicy currys, the aroma laden delectable akhni pulao ( rice cooked in meat broth ) , the gorgeous looking sheermal ( bread ), mouth watering sweets and a large hearted, affectionate community, is a small introduction of Lucknow’s exemplary and traditionally iconic culinary culture.
Our favourites therefore remain the kebabs, the mutton currys and the pulao, and not to forget the good old, brilliant arhar ki dal ( pulses ) and chawal ( rice ).
The Gen Z kids though sometimes prefer the Pizzas and the Burgers, their relationship with the traditional Awadhi food continues to remain strong.
Awadhi Cuisine is worth trying in a lifetime.
