Nahari with Kulcha
Nahari a hot favourite of Lucknow is a meat preparation with thick spicy gravy. In 'Pai ki Nahari' leg and other bones are cooked and bone juice is mixed with a mouth watering gravy. Nahari was originally a beef preparation eaten with Kulchas . Now-a-days mutton is also used instead of beef in houses, but the real taste comes with beef only.

The best place where beef Nahari is still served in Lucknow is the Rahim's shop inside Akbarigate, the shop established by Haji Abdul Raheem in 1893, which has produced some of the best Nahari dishes for the past five generations.

Sheermal

The `Sheermal', possibly invented in Lucknow by an ace bread-maker by the name of Muhammadan more than one and a half century ago.

They are saffron covered parathas made from a dough of flour mixed with milk and ghee and baked in iron tandoors. No other city produces sheermals like Lucknow does and the festive dastarkhwan is not complete without it. Originally `Lucknow Sheermal' is strictly “NOT” Sweet which some people may think otherwise. Mostly it is eaten with Galavati Kababs or Korma.
