Lucknowi Murgh Tangdi

Lucknow offers some super amazing delicacies. The old time Awadh offers numerous vegetarian recipes which are delicious and mouthwatering. And since, its also the city of Nawabs, the Non vegetarian dishes are equally delicious if not more. With all my respect to my vegetarian friends, the non vegetarian food from Lucknow is one of the main reasons why people still visit.

I remember visiting Lucknow with my parents in 2002 and tasting the super yummy Tunde kebab and awesome Biryani. Too bad, we were just there for 2 days and I am sure there was a lot to discover in the food section. Please do try the Lucknowi Biryani and Lucknowi Tunde kebab recipe too.

Nevertheless, from what we tasted, it was like a party in our mouth. One of the best things we tried were Tangdi Kebab and with a lot of research and trial and errors, I was able to get what I had tasted.

This dish fairly easy and the cooking process isn’t that tough to follow so, if you are a newbie, this should be a good one to try.
