Dum Pukht

Dum Pukht is a traditional Indian cooking method that involves slow, continuous cooking of food sealed in a tightly covered pot over low heat. This technique allows flavors to develop fully and ingredients to become tender, often resulting in rich, aromatic dishes. The name "Dum Pukht" translates to "slow cooking with steam," emphasizing the process of enclosing ingredients to retain moisture and enhance taste. It is commonly used in Mughlai cuisine to prepare dishes like kebabs and biryanis, highlighting patience and craftsmanship to create deeply flavorful, aromatic meals.
