Hyderabad has a rich food culture with many local dishes that both residents and visitors love. Here are some must-try specialties and where to find them:
This spicy chicken preparation is believed to have originated in Ankapur village in Telangana. Country chicken, an indigenous breed, is used in cooking over firewood with pounded red chilies and robust spices. The curry containing this chicken for sure is not served in many places in Hyderabad.
An Andhra chicken specialty from Bhimavaram that is deep-fried and very spicy. Very different from the regular chicken fry due to preparation and spice combinations. You can have this at Vivaha Bhojanambu, known for its Telugu thali specialties.
These deep-fried chicken wings come from Karimnagar street food inspiration. The wings are hot and crispy, with a distinct flavor and feel from those of any other chicken wings. A must-try in restaurants serving regional specialties from Telangana.
