The US ambassador has been in Hyderabad for a few days. He had previously shared a video of himself and his Embassy colleagues sampling some delectable delights in Hyderabad.
What Is Hyderabadi Cuisine?
The original cooking method in Hyderabad is referred to as Deccani food or Hyderabadi cuisine. After the Bahmani Sultanate was established, Hyderabad’s haute cuisine started to emerge, and the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which was based in the city of Hyderabad, promoted both the local food and its own.
As Hyderabadi cuisine continued to advance under their patronage, it was turning into a princely legacy of the Nizams of Hyderabad. The cuisine combines elements from South Asian, Mughal, Turkish, and Arabic cuisines with Telangana and Marathwada regional flavours.
