Nargisi Kofta | Mughlai Dish

Today sharing one of famous recipe from Mughlai Cuisine. As we know that most of the mughlai recipes are inspired by Persian so here is no any exception.This is really popular kofta in North India. It can be serve in two ways like you can serve kofta simply as a sancks or you can serve it with delicious gravy as well as. I made this one  as a snacks when again I will try this one more time definitely there should be a gravy with this kofta.

Basically the name Nargis came from alikeness of a winter seasoned flower of India. The flower has a yellow center arounding white petals which looks like an egg when you cut the koftas into halves. Nargisi kofta cosists of any keema with bolied egg. In keema category you can use any of the keema like chicken keema,mutton keema anything and the boiled egg will be coated with spiced keema outside . Then the koftas will be deep fried. Serve kofta with salads and sauce.

As keema and egg both are using here so it is a protein rich snacks with delectable taste.

Awadhi Paneer Masala | Lucknow Paneer Masala

Whenever I am thinking for some special cuisine at my home, it has to be really a special dish for me. No any common dishes I would not prefer to follow absolutely. So Some state or region has its own culture for their cuisines. So we identify them only by their special and identical cooking preparation which are really well known by all of us.As for example For Mughlai khana we always know that Biriyani is the most favorable delicacy. Same to same Awadhi cuisine or Lucknow cuisine has their own specialty too. In maximum cases they are cooking in Dum Puckt style foods means cooking will be done in a big hundi with a lid including all the spices but in low flame. But think as Mughal culture and Lucknow culture are more or less same in their cooking style. Still it has to be some differentiation in some cases. Hope you got to know that why I had given so many lectures about the Awadhi Cooking. Because today I want share one Awadhi special recipe. It's a simple and easy cooking reci
