The Hyderabad is all about slow-cooking, known as dum in India, much of which is done in the tandoor.. ‘This brings out amazing flavours and textures, which when combined with the rich, perfumed flavours from the spices create one of the best cuisines in the world and it is the home of korma and biryani.
