Being a true blood Hyderabadi, who’d have thought I’d be blown by a Hyderabadi experience. Well, I was. A food (and heritage) walk with Navin Sigamany did that for me. It’s an experience that inundates the senses in ways way more than one.
Walking through the ancient and narrow gallis of Charminar, taking pictures of nooks and crannies from history, the little titbits of information he comes up with, the stories he tells you from times gone by….and the food...well mashallah.
What’s more, he not only knows what to eat... and where to eat... he’ll even tell you how much to eat. Else there’s no way you can do that list….paaya, bheja fry, tandoori roti, kesar chai, shammi kebab, falooda, sheekh kebab, royal fish, osmania biscuit...the list just goes on.
You eat, and you walk, and you listen, and you gaze, and you eat some more and walk some more....and before you know it, it's about ten kilometers and four hours in....hours so well spent !!
