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 kachoris and puris, which are musts especially during festivities.
The irresistible Mughlai food is reminiscent of the Nawabi and the Mughal glory. The world renowned Dum Pukht (means 'to breathe' and 'to cook') 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 famous for its biryanis and different meat preparations.A very interesting aspect of Awadh cuisine is the inspiration it draws from a myriad sources - seasons and celebrations, flora and fauna, personalities, poetry and colour.Banaras is famous for the bazaars full of jalebis, sweetmeats and a myriad variety of kachoris. The pethas from Agra are popular all over the country.
So members whenever you have the chance do taste out the sumptuous menus of UP
