I am in Hyderabad past many years so have literally tried all its dishes & Hyderabadi Cuisine.
Hyderabadi Cuisine is basically bit Sour & Spicy , Rich & Delicious with variety of spices & dry fruits used .
The List of delicious Hyderabadi Dishes is too long :)
In this post I am briefly describing the 5 Must Try Ones.
1. HYDERABADI BIRYANI
Hyderabadi Biryani popularly known as Dum Ki Biryani is one of the most popular dish here .
It's a perfect blend of Rice , Meat , Spices , Dry Fruits and has heavenly taste .
Visitors from any part of the world do try this Dish here .
It's much different from Biryani of North India like Awadhi Biryani or Lucknowi Biryani .
It has a rich taste and is bit spicy .
One can enjoy this at any popular Restaurant or Hotel in Hyderabad .
Is served with Raitaa , Mirchi ka Salaan or Baghare Baigaan .
2. HALEEM
Haleem is a Type of Stew made from meat , various lentils , pounded wheat , spices , onions , dry fruits , Ghee .
It was introduced in Hyderabad by the Chaush People during Nizam's time .
And it's one of the Most Popular Dish here .
Specially during the holy month of Ramzaan people crave for it like anything as during Ramzaan its available at all restaurants & hotels .
The most famous one being of Pista House , which also exports haleem to gulf and few other other countries .
I have tried this dish many a times and love it's taste , so good & delicious .
It's nutritious as it's like a complete meal with goodness of wheat , Lentils , Meat & Dry fruits .
Now even Veg Haleem are available where vegetables are used in place of meat .
3.KHATTI DAAL
Khatti Daal is a popular dish in Andhra & Telengana .
Made with Lentils , Tamarind Pulp , Tomatoes , Lime Juice it tastes bit sour & tangy so called Khatti Daal .
Why I found it so interesting is Being a North Indian I never had tried any such dish , What max I was knowing was Sambhaar , But when I heard a lot about this daal and checked I found it too good :)
It can be enjoyed with Rice or Roti , tastes good with both .
4. QUBAANI KA MEETHA
Again this was a new dish for me which I have never heard of when in North India .
It's a popular sweet dish here which one can see almost on every occasion of function , parties etc .
It's made from dried apricot and is garnished with dry fruits like almonds and with fresh Cream .
It tastes good and is quite different from any other sweet dish .
5. IRANI CHAI
Irani Chai or Sheer Chai is again very popular here .
It was introduced by Persians here .
It is one of the specialities of Hyderabad .
One needs lots of ingredients to prepare this like Milk , Sugar , Green Cardamom , Cinnamon , Cloves , Fresh Cream etc .
It is slowly brewed with spices and then milk , cream & sugar is added .
I love it's taste and can have it any time .
One can easily enjoy this at any Restaurant or Hotel or Chai khana( Small hotels for tea)
And the best part is it's not expensive , so everyone enjoys it :)
It is served with Osmania Biscuit , a special type of Cookies prepared here in all bakeries .
So these were the 5 Must-Try Dishes of Hyderabad.
There are many more which I will try to cover in another post :)
Do tell me if you have tried any of these, would love to know :)
Love
Ghazala
