Awadhi Odyssey: Every Bite A Lucknawi Delight

Marvelling at the sleek modern architecture lining the archways and boulevards of Aerocity, I arrived at my destination for the evening – J.W. Marriott, ready to embark on their Awadhi Odyssey, a celebration of the intricate flavours of Awadh. En route, my mind wandered to the legendary gastronomic tales of Awadh, where the fusion of Persian and Mughlai cuisines birthed a memorable culinary lovechild. Thoughts of the renowned kakori and galouti kebabs, known for their mouth-melting perfection, the slow-cooked Dum Pukht that promises to cure colds with its lingering aroma, the assortment of meticulous breads like sheermal and ulte tawe ke parathe, and the poignant puppet-prince, Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, credited with the invention of Calcutta biryani, filled my imagination.
