New Delhi [India], February 18 (ANI/NewsVoir): Cloud kitchens and regional delicacies being prepared to reconnect the patrons with their roots and homely vibe have been a significant tool of growth for the F&B industry, especially during the pandemic.

With the establishment of the Mughal sultanate, India witnessed a cross-pollination of cultures and food became an integral part of that exchange. What developed was a cuisine that became a part of the newly formed Mughlai kitchens and has been known for its distinctive flavors ever since.

Amidst the lockdown, Hafeez and Sameer, residents of Delhi6 realized that there was a dire need to introduce authentic Mughlai cuisine to the people of the capital and thus incepted Khansaama as their resort to expand the decades-old heritage into a kitchen-delivery label. The brothers strive to bring original Mughlai flavors back on the table and serve Purani Dilli's heart on a platter. Hafeez and Sameer the seventh-generation classical musician brothers from Dilli Gharana have integrated their experience to create Khansaama and are working in collaboration to deliver the best of all worlds to food lovers across the globe.

Sourcing fresh and healthy ingredients while processing them in authentic style with years-old traditional Mughlai recipes, Khansaama endeavors to offer one-of-a-kind Mughlai dishes at the comfort of customers' homes.
Old Delhi is known for its lineage of carrying forward the 400-the 500-year-old heritage of original Mughlai delicacies regardless of the modern-age snacks taking over the country.
