I was invited to the most amazing 8 course Banarasi Muslim Non-vegetarian cuisine feast at the daawat of sair sapata, a very unique 200 year old tradition of get together over food.
Banarasi non veg food is heavily inspired by the Lucknow food and Bihari Food, that's the reason Bihari Kabab, Qorma or a Matar pulao is so popular at the dastarkhwan of Varanasi. The khansamas or the bawarchis prepared a lavish feast of 8 most intricate dishes at a garden or baag at Choukaghat.
The menu has the Banarasi Champaran style chicken korma, Biryai like matar pulao, Bihari kabab, chicken fry, fish fry, khamiri roti and kheer, that also gave subtle hints of its recipes.
All the guests were from generations of Banarasi saree making tradition families and this sair sapata tradition is very common. Where all the guests gather over food, mostly on sundays.
This has to be the best food I have tasted in Varanasi.
