To understand the context of the formation of Uttar Pradesh as a state and the gastronomic affairs of today, we need to go back to history textbooks to trace the amalgamation of Awadh into one of the largest states of the country. The royal kitchens of Awadh have witnessed the creation of several delicacies like Murg Mussallam, mutton qorma along with fluffy naan breads and kulchas. This Awadhi tradition of meaty curries as well delectable kebabs gets translated into Raebareli’s cuisine of today. Raebareli has been the most prominent seat for the Gandhi family after Amethi. This strategic region lies in the northwestern part of present-day Uttar Pradesh. 

Situated on the banks of River Sai, Raebareli is a part of the City of Nawabs, Lucknow. Given the historical influences of Mughals, their Persian-inspired cooking styles found way into the Awadhi kitchens, which were then adapted into newer methods of cooking, keeping the essence intact. The slow-cooking techniques and use of exotic spices in the former were included in the latter through roasted spices and addition of saffron for fragrance. 

Be it boti kebabs, pasanda or halwas, you can find everything in the heart of Raebareli. Here are some of the best places to devour all these foods.
