    Hello Hyderabad ladies

    I was born in Hyderabad but basically brought up in the US. Now, I'm married and expecting my first baby in March. I I just wanted to start a new thread about authentic hyderabadi recipes. In a few days I will be posting some recipes passed down in my family. I hope people will join me and learn some new recipes.

    Re: hyderabadi zafrani pulao

    Is there a veggie version to this pulao? How did you like the movie? It was a very different theme for an Indian movie - atleast the ones I have seen. I am glad to see that they are some other themes that they are exploring rather than the same old song and dance routine.

    Re: hyderabadi zafrani pulao

    Thanks Sunkan - is it supposed to be a sweet pulao? In the movie, they talked about how zafrani pulao is not supposed to be sweet. I dont know the history behind this dish. Thanks anyway - I am not a big fan of saffron - I am going to make it this weekend and will let you know how it tastes.
