In conversation with PTI, chef Roushan said, “Unlike Delhi’s robust flavours, Lucknow’s cuisine, exemplified by dishes like the Galauti Kebab, reflects delicate artistry. While the world often debates over which city boasts superior biryani, in Lucknow, the modest pulao holds higher regard. Our festival aims to highlight this subtle elegance and honour traditions of Awadhi cuisine.”
Apart from the culinary offerings, the festival features a ‘Meena Bazaar’ showcasing Lucknow’s renowned Chikankari kurtas and other regional handicrafts, as well as a nostalgic representation of Lucknow’s Single Screen Theatre, showcasing the city’s love for cinema and culture. Traditional sweets like ‘Shahi Tukda’, ‘Badnam Kulfi’, ‘Malai Gilauri’, and ‘Jalebi’ are available to round off the meal on a sweet note. The festival will conclude on September 15.
