Lucknawi Food Festival at Novotel Kolkata Hotel & Residences

Aloo Chutney Pulao

Press release: Awadhi cuisine is from the city of Lucknow, which is the capital of the state of Uttar Pradesh in Northern India, and the cooking patterns of the city are similar to those of Central Asia, the Middle East, and Northern India as well. Awadh has been greatly influenced by Mughal cooking techniques, and the cuisine of Lucknow bears similarities to those of Persia, Kashmir, Punjab and Hyderabad; and the city is known for Nawabi foods.

The bawarchis and rakabdars of Awadhi gave birth to the dum style of cooking or the art of cooking over a slow fire, which has become synonymous with Lucknow today. Their spread consisted of elaborate dishes like kebabs, kormas, biryani, kaliya, nahari-kulchas and roomali rotis. My menu is rooted in rich royal heritage of India and is a combination of subtle taste where flavors are as varied as India's climate and as exotic as India's royal culinary heritage. Our passionate teams of chefs who believe in absolute perfection are offering a true feast for all five senses with a range of signature dishes the blending and the preparation of spices is a century old craft and is indispensable to Indian cuisine. Recreating the magic of the spices, our Master Chef Abid Qureshi has carefully handpicked spices and flavors often used in the kitchen of the royalties elsewhere. 

Chef Qureshi from Lucknow is here for the festival.
