Ganga -Gomti is the title of my blog because my cooking is the reflection of the cuisine of eastern Uttar-Pradesh.My mom's journey from Ballia to Lucknow is reflected in her cooking and Ballia is a small city situated on the banks of holy river Ganga while Lucknow is the capital city of U.P. situated on the banks of river Gomti.Now I live in Chicago which is on the banks of mighty Lake Michigan,still the influence of Ganga-Gomti cuisine is predominant in my cooking even today!

Chicken Chengezi
Chicken Chengezi
The Chicken Changezi, a popular chicken delicacy
popular in the Northern part of the country, is said to have its link
with the Mongolian ruler and invader Ghenghis Khan.
"History of Chicken Changezi is very mixed and nobody really knows the
reason why this dish is named so. It is believed that this dish is named
after the formidable 13th century Mongolian warrior, Genghis Khan or as
Indians would like to call him Changez Khan. He was very particular
about his dish and the amount of spices
that was used. One of his chef experimented with the chicken dish to
suit his taste buds, which resulted in impressing the king. This dish
was prepared in milk and cream which cut the spicy flavour of the food. Chicken Changezi is made with roasted chicken in tomato-based gravy and can be enjoyed in several culinary hotspots of Purani Dilli.
The subtle gravy made with a handful of Indian spices stood its own
among the host of spicy Mughlai gravies that followed. In the streets of
Old Delhi, Chicken Changezi makes for one of the most popular Iftar dishes during Ramzan.
