Hyderabadi Biryani cuisine had become a princely legacy of the Nizams of Hyderabad State, as it began to further develop further on from there. The dish is a combination of Mughal, Turkish, and Arabic, along with the influence of the native Telugu and Marathwada cuisines. Hyderabadi cuisine contains a wide selection of rice, wheat, and meat dishes and the skilled use of various spices, herbs, and natural nourishments.
Hyderabadi cuisine has different recipes for different events, and hence is categorized accordingly, from banquet food, to weddings and parties, festival foods, and travel foods.
