Shahi Tukda is made of fried small pieces of bread, soaked in condensed milk, added with some cardamom, and topped with dried fruits. Shahi Tukda is cited as one of Awadh’s greatest contributions to Indian cuisine.
Mutton Korma
This delicious mutton curry exudes aromatic masala, cashew nut paste, rose water, and saffron. The juicy and flavorful mutton goes well with sheermal and Bakar Khani.
Seekh/Galouti kabab
It is impossible to imagine the celebration of Eid without a smoky, juicy, and delicious kebab. Seek Kebab is a delicacy made from a richly flavored mix of minced meat and perfectly grilled over charcoal. Galouti is a tender version, so its softness just melts in your mouth.
Phirni
Phirni is usually thickened with rice flour, seasoned with cardamom, saffron, and rose water, and topped with pistachios and nuts. It uses ground rice instead of brown rice and is widely cooked during the celebration of Eid. Traditionally, Phirni is served in a clay container that helps lower the temperature of the dessert.
