CUISINES OF UTTAR PRADESH
Main Dishes: Dum Pukht & Biryanis
Snacks & Sweets: Jalebi, Petha, Kachori And Mathri
Regular Food: Simple Vegetable Curries Of All Kinds
The cuisine of Uttar Pradesh is synonymous with variety as
every city offers a different but equally sumptuous cuisine for the
gourmet. Most families in Uttar Pradesh eat vegetarian food, although meat
delicacies of the Awadh style of cooking are world famous. Average
cuisines in Uttar Pradesh revolve around the simple, vegetable curries of
all kinds. But there is a predominance of fried foods like the tasty
`kachori' and `puri', which are musts especially during festivities. 
The irresistible Mughlai food is reminiscent of the Nawabi and
the Mughal glory. Dum Pukht means 'to breathe' and 'to cook'. The
cuisine owes its excellence to the fact that the food, sealed in a dish
and slow-cooked in its own juices, retains its entire natural aromas and
flavours. Lucknow is known world wide for its biryanis and
different meat preparations. Nihari and naan, a mutton
dish served for breakfast is one of the dishes that should be tasted to be
believed.
Banaras is famous for it's bazaars full of 'jalebis', sweetmeats
and a myriad variety of 'kachoris'. The 'pethas' from
Agra are popular all
over the country. And Lucknow
offers the most exquisite mix of Nawabi food. A lot of emphasis is placed
on savories and sweet meats in this state. From `mathris' to
jalebis, the latter often consumed with milk, a whole variety of foods are
offered whenever you venture out on a visit.
