The Kingdom of kababs in Lucknow is ruled by Galawati, a melt-in-the-mouth patty of finely-minced mutton or beef marinated with a host of spices and condiments, then shallow-fried on a large tawa or a cast-iron girdle fired by charcoal. The original owners of the legendary restaurant Tunday Kababi in the old quarters of Aminabad stake claim to having invented this culinary delight. Other kababs famous in Lucknow include the burras, kakoris, kalmi, patili, ghutwa, and pasandas. Food experts say some 45 kababs are indigenous to Lucknow, which also has its own version of rogan josh and mutton biryani.
