Delicacy of Lucknow Food & Language

Nawab Zafar Mir Abdullah - an expert on Lucknow food talks about the food of Lucknow, especially the difference between Biryani & Pulao. He talks about how different dishes are cooked and how you can not define them with a single word. When you listen to Nawab Sahib speak about food, do pay attention to his language as well - which has the quintessential Lakhnowi touch to it. Only in Lucknow people can speak with such delicacy - treating each word like a petal of rose. I had the honor of meeting him at the palace of Khajor Gaon in Lucknow. It is a beautifully restored palace which is being opened to public with prior appointments.
