Kebabs Craving!

Kebabs have been an integral part of Awadhi cuisine. The kebabs in Awadhi cuisine are grilled on the chullahs and are also known as Chullah Kebabs.

Though there are not as many varieties available for vegetarians in kebabs, but non – vegetarian have a plethora of mouth – melting kebabs. Kebabs are cooked with very gentle and mild flavors but are served with green coriander chutney and lemon wedges to add that tanginess to the taste buds.

With Hara Bhara Kebab and Paneer Kathi Kabab only for vegetarians, there is a vast variety offered to the non – vegetarians like Seekh Kebab, Afghani Seekh Kebab, Kakori Kebab, Chicken Seekh Kebab, Shami Kebab, but Galouti Kebab remains a hit among all the food lovers.

So, if you are in Jaipur, Handi Restaurant is surely a place where you can gorge on some rich, creamy, mouthwatering kebab preparations.

Recalling The Traditional Art Of Slow Cooking

Getting back to the olden days when the traditional method of slow cooking was practiced in the royal kitchens of the Nawabs of Awadh. The magic behind the deliciousness and mouthwatering delicacies of the Awadhi cuisine is the traditional art of slow cooking, known as Dum Pukht, where the dish is cooked until it matures completely.

Handi, around heavy bottomed utensil was normally used and it was made a point to seal the utensil with a dough known as purdah or veil so as the moisture and flavors are retained in the dish. The reason behind the style of slow cooking is roasting and proper maturing of the prepared dish and sustains the flavors and aroma.

The two most relished dishes made by this fragile technique of slow cooking are Dal Makhani and Dum Biryani. These dishes are cooked for hours and hours to get the best results.

 

So, come down to Handi to taste these yummy dishes and resist the temptation to peek every time the lid is opened and smell the subtle flavors and aromas.
