‘Galawati’ or 'Galouti' means “melt in your mouth” and was perfect for the toothless Nawab who continued savouring this until his last days.
The original recipe that brought many a smile on the Nawab’s face, albeit toothless, and many a sigh of satisfaction, is supposed to have more than 100 aromatic spices.
The Galouti Kebab is part of the "Awadhi Cuisine" ie from the city of Lucknow. Along with the Lucknowi biryani and Kakori Kebab, this is one of the outstanding highlights of the great food tradition from the Awadh region in Uttar Pradesh, India.
I got this recipe, from one of my friend who is Chef in a very renowned restaurant, which specializes in Awadhi cuisine.
