Lucknow is a city of old gardens, faded grandeur and a food culture built on patience. Awadhi cooking is aromatic rather than aggressively hot, full of slow-browned onions, cardamom, saffron, nuts, smoke and rice scented with whole spices.

This menu is rich in all the right places. Tandoori gobhi comes charred at the edges with kala chana catching the spice. The korma is silky with cashew and sweet browned onion. Kali dal cooks down until dark, glossy and deeply savoury, while the pulao brings everything together with caramelised onion, cashews and warm whole spices.
