"Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are" wrote a renowned gastronome Brillant Savarin. Food and identity are so closely tied. What we eat is elemental to our sense of identity and belonging. Food choices, eating habits and cooking methods often feature and pertain to certain groups or community among humans. While the court of Royals may have a rich and a copious feast, the commons may have a slightly adapted version of the same food based on his affordability. Food is talked about as a social and cultural identity. One of the reasons for having a world-wide varied cuisine leaving us with so many options to relish from.
The term Nawab means - provincial governor in the Moghul India. So the Nawabi's cuisine will be royal and rich reflecting their social status. Nawabi Aloo is a dish from the nawabs of Awadh, presently known as Lucknow region in North India. This potato based dish is a mix mildly spiced and sweetish in taste. Best paired with a Pilaf and as always any Indian gravy would be paired even with rotis and Nan.
