Living in Kolkata we enjoy the Ramzan delicacies from the food outlets in Zakaria Street. This year we wanted to taste the Ramzan food from the Nizam's city, Hyderabad. We went to this outlet of Pista House, which is one of the oldest. Walked from the Charminar area across the crowd, sounds, smells and colors of Ramzan festivities. Outside Pista House a separate counter was catering for their legendary Haleem. We already did some homework and ordered Haleem and Zafrani Chicken Biryani and brought back to our hotel. The consistency of the Haleem was entirely different than what we have in Kolkata. In Kolkata the Haleem is more of Dal Gosht with mutton pieces in a rich broth of lentils and spices. But Pista House Haleem is royal; it's pure mutton paste with wheat, lentils and other ingredients (said to have 29 ingredients) supporting the mutton paste with smell and taste of ghee hitting all senses. We could even discover small chunks of mutton bones. It's absolutely princely and shall keep you craving for more. The Zafrani Chicken Biryani was again different from the Biryani that we have in Kolkata. Biryani in Kolkata is more flavorful, but this Biryani hits all your senses and shall leave an aftertaste of spices. The rice is excellent and could be as long as a rice morsel could be. The smell of zafran will keep you engaged and the chicken pieces melt in mouth. Finally the price is very reasonable and quantity served will make you more than happy. We came back another day for their Baklava, which they have in so many varieties! And we brought a boxful back to Kolkata. In short what we had is hard to forget and we felt that our visit to Hyderabad was worth.
