Did you know? Legend says Shami Kebabs were invented in Syria but perfected in Lucknow when a Mughal chef added chana dal to stretch meat during a famine. The dal gives it a unique patty-like texture. Nawabs carried these on hunts as they stayed fresh for days. A 200-year-old Lucknow shop still uses the original brass utensils for cooking.
