Hyderabadi Biryani, a culinary masterpiece, traces its roots to the Nizams of Hyderabad in the 17th century. Legend has it that the biryani was created to provide a wholesome meal for soldiers. Over time, it evolved into a royal delicacy, blending local spices with Persian flavours.
The Nizams were known for their lavish feasts, and Hyderabadi Biryani became the crown jewel. It is said that the Nizam’s kitchen had a secret recipe, guarded with utmost secrecy, passed down through generations.
