'''Dum pukht''' ({{langx|fa|دَم پخت}}), '''larhmeen''', dampokhtak, or '''slow oven cooking''' is a cooking technique associated with the [[Mughal Empire]] in which meat and vegetables are cooked over a low flame, generally in dough-sealed containers. Traditions assign its origin in [[Partition_of_India|pre-partition India]] to the reign of [[Nawab of Awadh]] [[Asaf-ud-Daula|Asaf-ud-Daulah]] (1748–97). The technique is now commonly used in other cuisines such as [[South Asian cuisine|South Asian]], [[Central Asian cuisine|Central Asian]], and [[West Asian cuisine|West Asian]]. | '''Dum pukht''' ({{langx|fa|دَم پخت}}), '''larhmeen''', dampokhtak, or '''slow oven cooking''' is a cooking technique associated with the [[Mughal Empire]] in which meat and vegetables are cooked over a low flame, generally in dough-sealed containers.
