The beauty of India’s diversity is that every region boasts of its own unique culture and food. While some are more popular than the other, there is a lot to explore when it comes to different Indian cuisines. While Hyderabad is among the most popular cities in India not only for being the IT hub, it is also known for the Hyderabadi biryani, which gives tough competition to all other biryanis in the country not only from south but also north India.
Earlier this month, June 2 was celebrated as Telangana Day to mark the 10th anniversary of the separation from the northwestern part of United Andhra Pradesh on the same day in 2014. Interestingly, the latter also got its new government in the same month as N. Chandrababu Naidu became the chief minister of the state. Before the separation, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were one but every one of us knows that the cuisines in India change every few hundred kilometres. Just like that Telangana has its own identity not only as a state but also as its food which may seem similar to Andhra Pradesh but is vastly different and much more than the city of Hyderabad, which is its capital.
