Another favorite is this wonderful stew. This popular street food meal, which was first served in Hyderabad under the Nizam dynasty, was localized by the addition of traditional spices, becoming the best and most well-known Hyderabadi haleem. This stew is typically eaten during the Ramadan months and is made up of meat and lentils as well as pounded wheat that has been turned into a thick paste.

Pesarattu Dosa

The difference between Pesarattu Dosa and a regular Dosa is that Moong Dal is used to making the batter. It is a highly wholesome favorite among Andhra Pradesh’s breakfast fare. It is served with ginger chutney, and the two together are quite delicious. Dosa is a common street snack in other south Indian states, but Hyderabad has incorporated this small modification to the southern classic to make it one of the city’s top eats.

Lukhmi

The most well-liked appetizer at any Hyderabadi wedding is this oddly formed but delicious samosa. It is a must-try for every non-vegetarian because it is filled with tangy, spice-infused lamb meat mince that has an exterior crunchy coating.

Nihari

Nihari, another Eid special, is a delectable lamb stew that will send your taste senses into ecstasy. Usually, this is cooked with the marrow, but occasionally, a brain is included as well. To ensure that the meat absorbs the flavor of the masala, this delicacy is cooked overnight and even buried underground. It is so well-known during Eid that Pakistan also refers to it as its national dish.
