How Much Can Elevated Street Food Capture the Original Inspiration? | Eater
"A legendary Lucknow kebab shop credited with perfecting the galouti (or “tunday”) kebab, it traces its origins to a 19th- and early-20th-century royal culinary tradition created for toothless nawabs who needed an ultra-tender, minutely minced patty. Founded in the early 1900s by Haji Murad Ali, the shop popularized a famously guarded spice blend and a theatrical one-armed preparation method—so revered that some kebab-makers form patties with one arm behind their back in homage—and remains the touchstone for authentic galouti, to the point that chefs from the shop are sought internationally to reproduce the dish." - Jaya Saxena
