Tips & Secrets
- Using fresh raw papaya paste is the absolute secret to achieving the traditional melt-in-the-mouth texture.
- The meat must be ground into a fine paste; any remaining chunks will ruin the professional 'Galouti' consistency.
- Roasted besan acts as an essential binder that keeps the delicate patties together without affecting the royal flavor.
- The 'Dhungar' smoke method provides the authentic rustic aroma found in the heritage kitchens of Lucknow.
