Shamama and Kewda Perfumes of Kannauj: Kannauj is not only called the city of fragrance but also the heritage of Indian food. The perfume made here not only makes the hearts fragrant but also makes the taste of biryani special. The famous biryani of Lucknow and Hyderabad is not considered complete until Kannauj’s shamama and kewra attar are added to it. Shamama Attar is made after months of hard work from a mixture of dozens of herbs, flowers and spices, whose deep aroma gives a unique taste to the rice and spices. At the same time, the light and refreshing aroma of Kewra perfume makes Hyderabadi biryani delicious. Perfume traders say that every year thousands of liters of perfume are sent to big hotels and restaurants, due to which the perfume of Kannauj has become the identity of Indian cuisine.
