The Golden Peacock celebrates Awadhi cuisine, the centuries-old cooking tradition native to the city of Lucknow in northern India. Infused with saffron and an array of colorful spices, it is an irresistible aromatic cuisine that draws influences from the culinary cultures of Central Asia, the Middle East, and northern India.
Awadhi cuisine is renowned for its Dum style of cooking. This style of cooking is when the meats and vegetables of each dish are slow-cooked in dough sealed containers over a very low flame. Shami kebabs, Galouti kebabs, Kakori kebabs, Seekh kebabs, Kormas and Pulao–all cooked in Dum style–are now synonymous with the city of Lucknow. “Tales of Awadh by The Golden Peacock” is an ode to the rich culinary heritage of Lucknow and a profoundly diverse cuisine rooted in a myriad of culinary cultures.
