of our cuisine or inventions of cooking techniques. The piece of meat and
roasting technique which are used by a human being is directly connected with

Still, claims
that the Tandoori chicken was invented in the Mughal era. However, there are
many counter-arguments that it was never a part of the Awadhi cuisine. It is

successful venture. But the roots are still sticking with Peshawar and with a
restaurant Moti Mahal. Let's enjoy this amazing delicacy at home and create
