Hyderabad, the capital of the state Andhra Pradesh in South India, has a fantastic food culture. Its kababs, biryanis and curries are world-renowned. I first tasted this famous Hyderabadi recipe at the exclusive Hyderabad Club. It shows off the versatility of Indian cooking and the influence of the Mughals. This is a special dish served during the Muslim month of Ramadan, the time of fasting. Lamb is the sacrificial meat traditionally used. It may be an ancient recipe, but halim lamb works really well as a contemporary dish, served as a warm dip with slices of toasted crusty bread.
