Hyderabad: Haleem season is back and it's time to go around the city to try out a few dishes. Hyderabad has quite a few quirky haleem varieties that are mouth-watering and irresistible. To help you try a few out before the season ends, we have put together five quirky haleems you can find in Hyderabad.
Nalli Gosht haleem
The newly-launched Nalli Gosht haleem by Cafe 555 is all over the internet. The haleem, which was launched in March 2022, is served with a mutton bone, ghee, dry fruits, and caramelised onions.
Bahubali haleem
Available at Grill 9, the Baahubali haleem has rich toppings of chicken tikka, boiled eggs, pathar-ka-gosht, bone marrow, and is garnished with lemons, coriander, caramelised onions, cashews, fresh cream, and more. Priced at Rs. 999, the king pack serves four people, while the same dish called Supreme haleem serves two.
Double Decker haleem
Nizam's Pride has introduced Hyderabad's first-ever Double Decker haleem. Garnished with ghee, spices, and lemon, the haleem is served in a container that is then placed in a cup containing coke. Hence, the name Double Decker. The cup has a small gap for a straw. Single serving of this mutton double decker haleem costs Rs. 230.
Chicken 65 haleem
Cafe 555's Chicken 65 haleem is served with chicken 65, an egg, ghee, dry fruits, and fried onions. It is priced at Rs. 500 and serves two.
Vegetarian haleem
Pista House has introduced vegetarian haleem made with pigeon pea, urad dal, chana dal, green chili paste, carrot, onions, and potato. It is garnished with dry fruits and caramelised onions.
