In praise of Hyderabadi cuisine!

Here are some limericks in praise of Hyderabadi cuisine, to amuse you at the beginning of the New Year! I am more than sure that you would like them!

Hyderabadi Cuisine is divine

Cause it’s cooked without the count of the time

Marinated at leisure

Hand-pounded with pleasure

Ingredients are at their prime.

Boti Kabab and Double-ka-meetha

Better than Gajar-ka-halwa & Agra-ka-petha

Biryani sublime, Haleem divine

Shorbha supreme, Murgh Saleem

Whatever anyone serves, we can serve better!

Hyderabad hai bas ek kahani

Once you have come here & sampled Biryani

You can’t stay away

You’re drawn day by day

By its people, it's Khana & pani.

Synonymous with Hyderabad, is the cuisine

Its Biryanis, Kababs & Haleem

The list is unending

With no end to spending

Add to these, the desserts and the cream.

Menus in Hyderabad are unending

On food everyone is over-spending

Be it meats or baghara

Meetha or khara

To one’s palate, one is always attending.

Hyderabad, the Pearl of the Deccan

Is a paradise on earth I reckon

Its jewellery, its pearls

Sumptuous food, lovely girls

Each of these independently beckon.

Some seekers come to Hyderabad for pearls

Prospective grooms for marriageable girls

Gourmets flock for food

Far renowned, so good

Small wonder, the traffic here swirls.
