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. Along pavements, you will be allured by snack monsters.Also, taste Kulfi Falooda, Thandai (also with Bhang), Malai Ghewar and Makhan Malai.
