authentic delicacies of Hyderabad, you need to visit the city of Nizam’s in
this month of Ramadan, which starts from July 20th and will last for
a month.
The
true flavor of Hyderabad can be experienced in the evenings of this month, when
the Muslims break their day long fast with Iftar, which becomes a reason for
get together of relatives and friends and if you get an invite for any Iftar,
do not miss it, as this is the place where you can savour different delicacies
of Hyderabad free of cost. Otherwise do not feel bad, because you will get all
these delicacies in different restaurants of Hyderabad and some are world
renown for some particular variant.
There
are various dishes in Hyderabad which can be relished by the foodies, but this
being the holy month of Ramadan, let me give you some information about the dish
which is synonymous with Ramadan and that is world famous Hyderabadi Haleem.
Haleem
is usually consumed in this month during Iftar, as it is highly nutritious,
tasty and above all instant energy giver. The dish is rich in protein and it
contains anti-aging ingredients as it is made of meat, lentil, pounded wheat,
ghee and different spices. This is usually cooked on a low flame of firewood
for nearly 12 hours to make into a thick paste. It is served hot with fried
onions, chopped coriander, cashew nuts discs of lemon and slices of boiled egg.

Haleem was rewarded with Geographical Indication Status in 2010 and this is the
first non-vegetarian dish of India to get this status.
