Hyderabad is a culinary paradise for food lovers. Right from the famed Biryani to street food, like chaat, kulfi, and pesara dosa, there's flavour and culture in every bite.
To describe Hyderabad through its food, here’s a definitive guide.
Biryani: Hyderabadi Biryani is not just a dish, it’s an expression. Over the years, the fragrant biryani - be it the kachchi (raw) and pakki (cooked), each has its own loyal fans. The Dum style of cooking the meat and rice together gives it the distinctive flavour.
Hyderabadi Chakna: This spicy stew made from parts of the goat, served with naan is a regional specialty and the flavour profile comes from onions, garlic, ginger, cardamom, sorghum, turmeric, salt, red chili powder, black pepper, garam masala, fresh coriander, bay leaves, and green chili peppers.
Mirchi ka Salan: The curry with light green chillies and tamarind. Another favourite Salan is Baingan Mirchi ka Salan.
Hyderabadi Haleem: Especially popular during Ramzan, Haleem is made with meat, lentils, and wheat, slow cooked in a single pot overnight.
Dosas: Across south India, there’s a variety of dosas and Hyderabad does a unique twist to each of these while still maintaining the origin of the dosas. Along with an array of chutneys, this can be a hearty meal or a light snack.
Kebabs: This mouth-watering preparation is made with meat or vegetables or paneer. Leading the list is the Shikampuri Kebab - a regional specialty from Hyderabad.
The desserts here like the Malida and Quabani ka Meetha are renowned as are the biscuits from Karachi Bakery - which originated in Hyderabad.
The city has always been a must-visit destination for anyone who loves to explore new flavors and cultures. Let’s celebrate Hyderabad.
