Eatouts
Hyderabad has a set a trend in
gourmet meals, exquisite style and table manners, a legacy of the courts of the
Nizams. The cuise concentrates on the rich flavour of meats and rice. Biryani is
a highly flavoured rice dish with liberal quantities of meats and spicy curries.
Nahari and Roomali Rotis are very popular. Kebabs of various type can be eaten
by themselves with a chutney. Of late, pubs, fast food joints and western
speciality cuisine restaurants have come up in the city. It is
justifiably proud of its delicious Andhran cuisine. One can also try haleem —a preparation of
pounded wheat with tender portions of meat, garnished with crispy fried onion
rings. Nahari sheep trotters and spices stewed overnight over a slow charcoal
fire, and eaten with hot bread cakes, is yet another of Hyderabad delicacies.
Two dessert items deserve special mention-the rich creamy sheer birinj flavored
with crushed almonds and garnished with rose petals and Shahi Tukre topped with
a fine sheet of edible silver foil. Of course, one can never forget that
Hyderabadi grapes have a taste of their own.
Be warned; some of
the vegetarian chili dishes can be real tearjerkers.

History:Andhra Pardesh was once a major Buddhist centre and part of Ashoka's
empire until it broke apart. Traces of early still remain in several places,
particularly Amaravathi. the Sanchi of Andhra Pardesh. Later, in the 7th
century, the chalukyas held power, but they in turn fell to the Chola kingdom of
the south around the 10th century. It was this dynasty that built the vast and
almost impregnable stone fortress of Golconda - one of India's most impressive
monuments . The near by tombs of the rulers of this Muslim dynasty rival those
of the Delhi sultans and the early Mughals in size and splendor. The general's
successors, the Nizams of Hyderabad, ruled the state right through to
Independence.
