Why it matters
It provides cultural and lifestyle recommendations for regional tourism and culinary exploration in India.
Some dishes require reverence. And that is what the Kakori kebab and sheermal get at Kesar Bagh. As I cut pieces of the delicate lamb kebab and pop them into my mouth, time stands still, the music fades and all I feel is the kind of joy that only an impeccable dish can bring out. Then, I tear into the saffron-rich, mildly sweet sheermal and it is time to write a paean to this classic combination. While the size of the Kakori is intimidatingly long, it is effortlessly polished off in under three minutes.
