Abstract

The cuisine of Awadh, a province in northern India, is renowned for its rich diversity beyond just biryani. Shaped by Persian, Mughal, and Indian influences over millennia, Awadhi cuisine reflects a history of royal patronage and refined culinary practices. Dishes like galouti, kakori, kormas, and shahi tukda showcase a masterful fusion of flavors, with key ingredients such as saffron, cardamom, cloves, and rose water lending distinctive aromas. Culinary techniques like dum pukht and bhunao are essential for achieving the intricate tastes and textures of dishes like dum biryani and nihari. Awadhi cuisine not only serves as sustenance but also plays a significant role in religious ceremonies, celebrations, and communal events, contributing to the region’s hospitality and identity. Data collected from fifty local chefs and cooks through interviews and qualitative analysis methods shed light on the gastronomic elements of Awadhi cuisine. Thematic and content analysis proved effective in interpreting this qualitative data, offering valuable insights into the culinary traditions of Awadh. Traditional statistical tests may not be suitable for such qualitative data, but dedicated methods like thematic and content analysis are tailored for understanding and interpreting insights gleaned from interviews.
