Hyderabad, the capital of India’s Telangana state, is known as the “City of Nizams” and was recognised as a 'Creative City of Gastronomy' by UNESCO. Gastronomy refers to the art and knowledge involved in preparing and eating good food, along with the fusion of culture. The identity of the city began with the influence of Persian and Turkish flavours, introduced during the Qutb Shahi dynasty in the 16th century and later enriched after the Mughal invasion. The Nizams, who ruled Hyderabad from 1724, were passionate food lovers and employed several foreign cooks in royal kitchens. These palace kitchens played a significant role in preserving and enhancing the rich and diverse food culture of Hyderabad, more so than any restaurant or cookbook. “The Nizams used to marry girls from Central Asia, and the brides used to bring their own khansamas [house servants] or royal cooks so that they could bring their cooking traditions with them.
