India is a wonderful treasure chest containing and revealing many fascinating tales from the days of yore. From February 17-26, The Great Kabab Factory is inviting the foodies to a gastronomic journey to India’s most historical and celebrated food provinces, Lucknow and Hyderabad.

“Come aboard an odyssey to India’s regal past, through the bylanes of Lucknow while enjoying a peek into the shahi bawarchi-khanas of Nizams. The culinary rivalry between legendary Nawabs and fabled Nizams is one of the most talked about cuisine-dramas in Indian history. Kababs, Korma or Kurries?! Gear up to experience Nawabi opulence & Nizami zaika as the forgotten flavours of a glorious heritage come alive on your palate.”

Awadhi cuisine originates from the Oudh (Awadh) region of Uttar Pradesh in Northern India and is greatly influenced by Mughal style of cooking techniques. Awadh gave birth to the “dum” style of cooking or the art of cooking over a slow fire, which has become synonymous with Lucknow today.

Hyderabadi cuisine, conjures up delicacies that are rich in taste and texture with mouth-watering aromas. A princely legacy of the Nizams of Hyderabad, Hyderabadi cuisine is a blend of Mughlai and North Indian cuisine, with an influence of the spices and herbs native to Telegu region. There is a saying in Hyderabad, cooking patiently or “itmenaan se” is the key!
