Taking to his Instagram handle, MasterChef Nayanjyoti shared a delicious reel of himself exploring Lucknow’s street food trails with his buddy, Sachin Khatwani. Captioned “What I Ate In 3 Hours”, this reel takes you through a plethora of rich sweets, Lucknowi meaty delicacies and chaats from the ‘City Of Nawabs’ that Nayanjyoti gorged on during his 3-hour food hopping experience.
First, he tried Imartis, a deep-fried flower-shaped sweet made out of ground Urad Dal and later soaked in sugar syrup. He also tried Imarti Rabdis. Next on the menu was Shami Kabab, a sauteed meat dish of whole spices and chickpeas. It’s tender and melts in your mouth. In the reel, the Chef also tried Lucknow’s special Akhrot Halwa or Walnut Halwa and Malai Gilori, where desi cream is stuffed with dry fruits and folded just like paan ( betel leaf).
