@Joey: I am flattered. But was out of the country when you wrote in! Thanks anyway.

@Kanchan: Hey! The site is great. However, I now live in Pune so this won't be of too much help (other than checking to see how much culinary progress NOIDA has made since I last lived there!).

The one place I had great kabab's was this 'gali' in Nizamuddin in Delhi. Go down the little lane next to a Dargah, wind your way past wandering ducks and take your place on a 'charpoy' among afficianados for the most succulent beef kababs ever.

Reading your blog reminds me it is now lunchtime - so I am off. Maybe, I will do Kababs today, though Bangalore is not great for the authentic stuff.

2007-07-10T09:39:00.000+05:30

@sarah: Thank you! While I love cooking (as does my wife), we rarely attempt kababs at home. Maybe because the real thing is made in charcoal fired ovens (called tandoor in India) that are usually unavailable in homes.

Wonderful blog! I'm looking forward to reading through your archives.

I'm learning Indian cooking (via my blog!) and have yet to try my hand at kebabs... this might just be my inspiration. Thanks!

@luvtatravel: Welcome to my blog! Most of the spices ought to be available in any grocery shop (called Kiranas); just make sure you know the Hindi names of these spices. Also, do not buy packaged and pre-ground spices. Grinding whole spices at home (if you have a dry grinder) will give you a much more superior taste.

Hi Shantanu
I came across your travel articles on India and in specific the two relating to Lucknow and its Awadhi cuisine. My wife and I now live in Albuquerque New Mexico USA. We have visited India twice and are planning a third visit for next November when we plan to add on a few nights
in Lucknow. During our first visit we stayed at the Sheraton in Jaipur for two nights when visiting chefs from Lucknow were serving fabulous Awadhi cuisine. Ever since then we have tried to replicate some of these marvelous dishes at home(we
have 2 cookbooks on Avadhi cuisine) but some of the more unusual spices and masalas are not available here nor can I find them online. Could you inquire among your friends in Lucknow where the good spice shops are, even stalls in the old city chowk - we can hire a guide to take us in search of the missing ingredients! Many thanks, and I have added your informative travel pages to my favorites to follow regularly.

Lovely! A foodie from Delhi? Or atleast, all the kebab places you just mentioned are right next to my heart - figuratively speaking, and in terms of the calories they're sure to impart :)

I quite like Thea myself - although I prefer their grilled meats, given that I'm a kebab fanatic! If you ever get the chance, try ethiopian food. Its one of the most brilliant cuisines *Ever*.

And thanks for stopping by - I've been rather uncertain with my blog entries lately but I think I'm going to get back to it soon enough!

What a great, educating and readable post. Like you never been to Europe and Norway, I've never been to India. So now we are equal:-) Like you said on mine: I'll be back!

Never read such an exhaustive information on Kababs.

I will ensure that I visit these places in my next trip to Delhi.

The description of food and places is so good that I almost was looking for such things on veg cuisines. Being a strict vegetarian myself, I now hope to start a similar blog for veggies. Don't know if i can write this well though.
