The state capital is famous for a wide range of Awadhi delicacies, and food buffs both from India and abroad have been talking about it for a long time now. The city's food scene is an endless treasure of delicious dishes that will tantalise your taste buds," he added. Mumbai-based consultant Abha Narain Lambah played a key role in putting together a detailed dossier about Lucknow's gastronomic heritage. The entire effort is closely monitored by the Uttar Pradesh Department of Culture and Tourism. If you thought the state capital was a non-veg haven and is only known for its Tunday and Kakori Kebab, let us tell you that the nomination highlights vegetarian offerings like Bajpai ki Puri and Durga Ke Khaste, among others. Not just this, Lucknow's famous sweets like motichur ke laddu, malai paan, jalebi and imarti are also in the much-loved dishes list.
