 It

was named after Hyder Mahal.
 Old Hyderabad was built on an area
of six miles surrounded by a stone

also famous for hosting feast, state banquets.
 One cannot realise the gorgeous pageantry of
Hyderabad Court and its magnificent cuisine

Muslims, Turks, Arabs, Persians and
Afghans.

advisors and administrators and
learned people from Delhi and

SUNIL KUMAR
Hyderabad cuisine is know to be
sumptuous with a richness of taste that is
difficult to find elsewhere in India. Day-in
and Day-out rich food is taken
 The food is Chili hot, it is full of species
either curd or Tamarind is used.
 Rice is the staple diet of Hyderabad.
 Wheat is also consumed equally


SUNIL KUMAR


This cuisine owes its origins to the Mughalai
style of cooking of the Asaf Jahi period. By
carefully mellowing and nurturing the typical
Mughalai flavours with a blend of spices, the
cuisine of Hyderabad was born. While there is a
certain exotic quality to some of the royal foods,
it is also known that a true Hyderabadi will go
any where in the city for a well prepared dish,
however humble its origin.
