How Much Can Elevated Street Food Capture the Original Inspiration? | Eater

"A long-established Lucknow kebab shop (open since 1911) that provided a formative galouti-kebab memory for the author and their family: seated in a lofted area overlooking the cook forming kebabs with one hand and another frying them, the meal delivered a tingling, layered spice and melt-in-the-mouth texture that produced rapturous joy. Eaten with roomali roti and washed down with Limca, the experience was as much about shared family elation—especially the author’s grandfather’s beaming contentment—as about the food itself, and is recalled as one of the trip’s most memorable moments." - Jaya Saxena
