Residency main building
In the Mango garden
Mr Professor!
Kebab getting ready!
we love the Avadh cuisine and have several cookbooks devoted to it, but we live in the United States and cannot find some of the spices and special masalas called for. We will be travelling to Rajasthan next November with stays in Delhi as well, and we plan a side trip to Lucknow to enjoy its cuisine and perhaps find some of the unusual spices and mixes. Can anyone suggest where to look for these? Thanks for any suggestions.
Generally, spices are very easily available in any grocery store all over India. The best brands are Everest, MDH. However, some freshly prepared local ones are also good but it will be better for you to go for ready made ones.In hindi, spices are called as 'Masala'.

Was in the city for a shoot- channel v `popstars', a reality television show... a talent hunt for a pop band. The Lucknow round of auditions (one of several cities) drew a large and enthusiastic crowd of wannabe popstars...
The main hall of the Bara Imambara measures 47.71m long by 16.16m wide and is 14.65m high making it one of the world's largest vaulted galleries. The main hall is flanked by the Chinese Hall on the right and the Indian Hall on the left. It contains the tombs of Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula and his queen, Shamsunnisa Begum.
The main Residency building originally was an imposing 3 storeyed structure which gave its name to the area. The principal entrance to it was on the east side, under the handsome portico. Along the west front extended a wide and lofty colonnaded verandah. Spiral stairs inside the two turrets on the north and south sides led to the roof.

Lucknow is a funny city, large, political, polluted, cultural and very polite (yeah right) The modern city is all hustle and bustle, but there are enough gems, fading raj 'glory', nawabi palaces and mansions, dramatic battle sites, and some incredible food, to make it all worth while.
Those with an academic interest will find the city will have plenty to offer, but for a flying visit it can be a lot of stress for small payback
