Talawa Gosht
A popular late-night snack available into the wee-hours in the bylanes of the old-city to this day! Cubes of steak marinated overnight in ginger, garlic, dry spices, stir-fried in a yoghurt-based sauce, and enjoyed with a fresh flat-bread.
Mutton Dalcha
A popular dish in households since the Nizams’ era (Nizams were the erstwhile rulers of the princely state of Hyderabad). Large bone-in pieces of goat meat cooked in a complex, flavourful curry with split yellow chickpeas.
Bagara Baingan
A perfect partner to the Dalcha; tender small eggplants in a tamarind and peanut-based gravy. Soft, nutty, and tangy!
Bagara Khaana
The ideal accompaniment to these flavourful curries, this spiced rice dish is a regular feature at weddings and functions in Hyderabad. Delicate, long-grain basmati rice cooked with ginger, garlic, mint and coriander.
Served with Pickled Onions, Green Chutney, and plenty of warm Naan Bread
Kaddu ki Kheer
A classic old-city number, this rich, creamy pudding, is made from kaddu, know as bottle gourd or white pumpkin, bolstered with almonds and dusted with cinnamon.
