Learn more about the Dum Pukht recipes


The Dum method of cooking are said to have been brought by the Mughals from Central Asia. This is a slow cooking method which basically involves covering the cooking vessel with dough, so that food can get slowly cooked in its own steam and the aroma and the flavour of the herbs and the spices do not escape the vessel and thoroughly infuse each and every ingredient with its distinct flavor.

Dum Pukht really means choking the steam. This style of cooking give an unmistakable aroma and a very unique flavor to the cooked food. Its even more effective if you cook it in the absolute traditional style using an earthen or a clay pot.
