ITINERARY: Tunday Kebabi: This heavenly offering had to be first on the list and the best place to have it is the obvious–the 100-year-old, tucked away in a corner of the bustling Aminabad area. Mutton Biryani: So, for the real flavor of Dum Biryani visit to a small shop in the Chowk area–Idris Dhaba. Forget the class for some time and indulge yourself in the soft aroma of Dum Biryani as it is cooked over low fire in a sealed, heavy-bottomed pan. Handi Chicken: As the name suggests, the chicken here is cooked in an earthen pot (over coal in a one-meter-deep hole). Gulabi Chai: Surprised! Try Nakhas market at night. During Eid, Gulabi Chai is served here with hot imarti (similar to jalebi). Lucknawi Chaat: Lucknawi cuisine is incomplete without some lip-smacking chaat.
