In this episode, the 2Gs, our Gourmands and Geeks Sadaf and Archit are exploring the cuisine of Rampur; one of India's lesser-known cuisines, with Dr. Tarana Hussain Khan, writer and cultural historian. They discuss:

  • What differentiates Rampur cuisine from Mughal, Awadh, Deccan, and others?
  • Royal and commoners’ food of Rampur
  • Project Forgotten Food: A project on the forgotten foods of India such as  heritage rice
  • Rampur’s popular ‘Taar Gosht Korma’ and various kinds of halwas, including sohan and Gosht
  • What was Rampur’s Jashn-e-Benazir?
  • The unique recipes that Nawabs used to enjoy

So, sit back and relax, and let’s travel back to the Nawabi Era to get a whiff of cuisine through this podcast, while you bite into some sohan halwa.
