I returned to the hotel and was told that Fridaus, the restaurant was closed. I was bummed, I had been hearing about Hyderabadi Haleem since I got to Hyderabad and I really wanted it for dinner. I got to my room and was not to about to give up. I noticed the information in my room indicated I had another 1/2 hour before the restaurant closed. I decided to call room service and I was told that I could still order Haleem with Sheermal. I ordered and that along with another dish I wanted to try Pindi Chole.
I am told that Haleem is only available this time of year. It is eaten during Ramadan a Muslim Holiday. Haleem was described as Popular hyderabadi dish of lamb simmered hours together whith whole wheat and Indian spiced to make it soft and musky -topped with mint leaves, saffron, pure ghee and golden friend onion. How could you go wrong? Pindi Chole is described as a traditional preparation of chickpeas with dry spices and cooked over a slow fire.
I think this has to be the best meal I had in India and I understand why everyone kept telling me that I needed to try the Haleem!
