The chief characteristic of Hyderabadi Cuisine is its generous use of exotic spices and ghee. The aroma of the cuisine of Hyderabad is very appetizing. Cooks of Hyderabad prefer to use fresh fruits instead of dried fruits in their mouth watering dishes. They excel in the preparation of Non vegetarian dishes and Biriyani is the highlight of Hyderabadi Cuisine.

It has earned immense popularity world wide and is basically flavored rice mostly with meat and sometimes with vegetables. Food in Hyderabadi households is served in the Shahi Dastarkhan. It is the dining place where people sit on a cotton mattress. The low chowki serves as the dining table.

The Nawabs of Hyderabad are well known for the way they entertained their guests with exotic dishes. It is for this reason that Hyderabadi Cuisine is also popularly known as Nawabi. They are cooked with a lot of herbs and spices and the flavoring and seasoning is just perfect. All your taste buds are sure to be satisfied.

Though it specializes in non vegetarian fare, a few vegetarian dishes of Hyderabad are also very tasty. They include Bagara Baingan – a rich preparation of brinjals, Mirch Ka Salan – hot chilies in creamy gravy, Tomato Qoot – flavored tomatoes with a lovely smell and Shahi Dahi Vadas –lentil balls dipped in curd.
