It's Trevor James. I
am in Hyderabad India.
00:01
We're going for a full on
food flavor of the city.
00:03
I'm so pumped. There's
a lot of food to try.
00:06
It's gonna be amazing. Let's check it out.
00:08
(upbeat Indian music)
00:10
Hyderabad will blow you away.
00:13
There's a strong coercion
on Islamic influence
00:15
throughout the whole city.
00:17
Which brings you some
of the tastiest biryanis
00:19
Especially during Ramadan.
00:23
You can explore old city by
foot and get immersed and lost
00:25
in deep markets that offer
insanely delicious food.
00:28
And that's what it's all about.
00:31
(talks in foreign language)
00:34
Oh okay. Thank you.
00:49
I was super lucky to find this street side
00:51
buttermilk curry vada.
00:53
An Indian fritter loaded
with fennel and spices,
00:55
and dipped in a light buttermilk curry.
00:58
This is like a vada.
01:01
Which is like a deep fried fritter almost.
01:03
Packed. Packed with spices.
01:07
And this is in a light
curry broth, curry sauce.
01:10
Creamy and there's some yogurt on there.
01:13
Oh yeah. Look at that.
01:15
- Tasty?
- Yeah, really tasty.
01:22
That's really nice.
01:24
- Nice?
- Very nice. Yeah.
01:26
Oh, it's so creamy.
01:30
It's, oh, very good.
01:32
It's kind of like eating wet bread.
01:37
That's really flavorful.
01:40
And that light sauce that
it's in, is so creamy.
01:43
It's just slightly spicy.
01:47
You can taste the curry
leaves all throughout.
01:48
Next thing you definitely have to eat here
01:51
is the masala dosa.
01:53
Usually found on the road
side tiffin snack stalls
01:54
scattered throughout
almost all cities in India.
01:57
This is pure street food satisfaction.
01:59
And you're gonna love the
atmosphere of a dosa stall.
02:01
With locals lined up and
chowing down on dosas
02:04
and steamed breakfast idli cakes.
02:07
I came here for the masala dosa.
02:09
Which is stuffed with boiled potatoes
02:10
that are seasoned with mustard seeds
02:12
and garnished with grated coconut,
02:14
coriander and lemon juice.
02:16
You can even get it with cheese.
02:18
It's grilled until it's
crispy on the outside
02:19
and soft and smooth on the inside.
02:21
That's what I'm talking about.
02:24
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
02:29
They give you that coconut chutney.
02:33
Thank you. That's good.
02:37
(groans)
Really good.
02:45
The potato masala is packed with flavor.
02:49
- Personally, tumeric for example,
02:52
we don't take well our
medicines like antibiotic.
02:55
- So it's packed with
tumeric. Lots of tumeric.
02:58
Oh ho. It's so good.
03:01
This is messy heaven.
03:03
everyone just adding
that spice mix on top.
03:06
Next thing you've gotta try
03:09
is the high energy Hyderabadi haleem.
03:10
Originating right here in Hyderabad.
03:13
It's a super thick paste like stew
03:15
made with goat meat,
lentils and pounded wheat.
03:17
It's loaded with flavors
from all the spices inside.
03:20
Like tumeric, garlic, cumin,
caraway seeds, cinnamon,
03:23
cardamom, cloves, saffron,
03:28
pepper, allspice and cashews.
03:31
It's topped with an oily
and spicy ghee based gravy.
03:34
Pieces of lime, coriander
and fried onions.
03:37
And you have to have it during Ramadan.
03:41
As it's meant to provide high energy
03:43
for those breaking a fast
at the end of the day.
03:44
Aww, thank you very much.
03:47
I've been dying to try this for so long.
03:52
Look at this haleem.
03:57
There's like this light,
04:00
I think that's like a
light chilly oil on top.
04:02
Cashews. Look at those crispy onions.
04:04
Oh, it's gooey. It's gooey.
04:07
That, I was not expecting.
04:14
There's like this goat
meat flavor that's infused
04:17
throughout that sticky, like gooey stew.
04:20
And I can taste so many spices
04:24
like saffron, cardamom, cloves.
04:26
And those crispy onions
mixed with cashews on top
04:29
make it unbelievably delicious.
04:32
I was not expecting that.
04:34
Exploring the old Hyderabad
at Charminar is a must do.
04:37
You can walk around
the 400 year old mosque
04:40
and get lost in ancient
alleyways and markets
04:42
and see what to eat.
04:45
I found a famous bakery
that baked everything
04:47
in a huge stone oven.
04:49
Offering a huge selection of baked goods
04:51
that entice all the
locals to come for a bite
04:52
and have a sip of that famous Irani tea.
04:55
As the biscuits come out tray after tray
04:58
and the smells waft through the air,
05:00
you can enjoy this traditional cuisine
05:02
in an ultra picturesque setting.
05:04
I am in Charminar downtown Hyderabad.
05:06
This area. Check it out, right behind me.
05:08
This is the main palace.
05:10
This was built by the
Sultan 400 years ago.
05:12
This whole area was bustling
with Irani influence.
05:14
Persian charade. Yeah.
05:17
And I've got a local Irani tea.
05:19
This is what the locals drink right?
05:21
- Oh, I'm gonna try it out.
05:24
It tastes like, almost like
really sweet condensed milk.
05:29
And, oh, it's so smooth like
a little vanilla flavor.
05:33
And this right here.
05:39
This is a specialty.
05:40
This is like a moon biscuit right?
05:41
- It's a moon biscuit.
- Moon biscuit.
05:44
Oh, I taste like a deep
saffron flavor in there.
05:52
Oh, just a nice crunchy biscuit
05:58
with that deep saffron flavor (groans).
06:00
And the locals, they're
so friendly in India.
06:04
I've had nothing but good experiences.
06:06
People really go out of their way
06:09
to make sure you're having a
good time in their country.
06:10
Next thing we gotta try here in Hyderabad
06:12
So the bottom floor
here is like a tea shop.
06:16
Full of locals eatin' biryani.
06:19
And the top floor is where it's at.
06:21
Awww, finally chopped mutton
06:26
with green chilies,
tomato and Indian spices.
06:30
Deep fried mutton with green chilies.
06:33
Listen to that crisp.
06:38
- Pakistani chicken specialty
- Pakistani chicken specialty.
06:39
Oh, it's a thick green gravy.
- Yeah, with cashew.
06:44
Aww, thank you. Look at that.
06:48
Is there mutton in there?
06:53
Oh, big mutton chunks.
06:54
(chuckles)
This is the best day ever.
06:58
- Get some drinks?
- I have my Irani tea.
07:03
- Thank you sir.
- Thank you.
07:06
So I have a huge Southern
Indian feast here in Hyderabad.
07:08
This is what my dreams are made of.
07:12
This is mutton heaven.
07:14
And I am just so excited
to be here right now.
07:16
So first thing I wanna try here
07:20
is this mutton biryani,
mixed with mutton rogan josh.
07:21
Oh, there's so much thick mutton in there.
07:26
That's gonna be a bite.
07:29
That mutton biryani is packed with flavor.
07:35
There's so many spices in there.
07:40
Cardamom, star anise, cinnamon, cloves.
07:41
It's like an explosion in your mouth.
07:45
Mixed with the mutton rogan josh.
07:47
Oh, it's just so smooth and creamy.
07:49
And that spice just brings
you to the next level.
07:51
I've had two 10 out of 10
meals here in India so far.
07:54
And I'm blown away by the array of flavors
07:57
that you can experience in one setting.
07:59
The food here in Hyderabad
will leave you speechless.
08:02
Just walking up to the stairs
to this unassuming restaurant,
08:04
you definitely won't
expect food like this.
08:07
But when the first flavors hit you,
08:10
you just can't stop eating.
08:12
And you wanna keep eating
even after you're beyond full.
08:14
Washing it all down with a
thick and super sweet Irani tea.
08:18
Just puts you in a setting
for this delicious food.
