Hyderabad:
The holy month
of Ramadan has resulted in a sharp increase in sale of delicacies here, with Haleem
being the hot favourite. Hyderabadi Haleem is cooked on wood fire to maintain
its aroma. It takes a lot of time to prepare it. The mouth-watering delicacy is
made of wheat, mutton, gram, pulses, curd, onions and vegetable oil with a sprinkling
of spices. Talking to mediapersons, Mohammad Abdul Masjeed, a sweet shop owner,
said the demand for the Mughalai specialty rises during Ramadan and is popular
all over the world. “Haleem is a new dish which is introduced all over India ,
so a lot of people like it. Especially in metros like Delhi and Mumbai there is
a lot of demand of this dish. We export Haleem all over the world. It's a very
nutritious dish,” Masjeed said. Eateries in the city are busy preparing Haleem,
considered ideal for breaking the fast during Ramadan. Restaurants in cities such
as Mumbai and Chennai bring in chefs from Hyderabad to cook it. Ramadan, the ninth
month of the Hijri Lunar calendar, honours the revelation of the holy Koran to
Prophet Muhammad.
