Ek maray friend tha jo chikat ghada thay. Unku Paradise kay curry puff pasand thay. Khob kha kay dukkar laythay tha.

Array kyaa bacchay hai tum logaan kuch bi baat nai malum. Chikat ghada kya hota ray --- china ghada bol. Aur dukkar nai boltay -- dukkar bura janwar hota ray, dakaar boltay. Array tum bacchay logaun ku kya malum accha khana kya hota. Kabi maray haath ka maikhalya khaingay toh pait may mundi dalnay ku dil chahingaa.

Kulch, what a memory, very very close.

BirbaBoti Khala, mayray ku bi Maikhalya bhot pasand hai. Hamaray ghar may Kulsum Bee naam ki ek khana pakaanay wali thi jis key haath ka maikhalya bhot mazaydar hota tha. As pas kay san padosiyo ku bhi bhot pasand tha. Puray Gosha Mahal kay ilaakhay may hamaray ghar ka khana mashoor tha. Kulsum Bee kay haath ka gul-e-fidos bhi bhot accha hota tha.

Bhai HariBoot, bachpan se hi tabiyat itnee chatori paayee hai ke poocho mat! Aaj bhi wohi aalam hai apney chatoreypan ka! Mizaaj saath nahin deta, lekin wo chatpatey khaney ki aadat nahin jaati. Bas ab phir Ramazan-e-shareef ka intezar hai, aur phir wohi apney dahi vadey, haleem, kaaley chaney, mirchiyaan, chaney ki daal, fruit chat, andey ke pakodey waghaira waghaira... Khoob daba ke teen time khayenge. Yaar log to \"Kulcha Lapoot\" ka title diye huvey hain aur begum ko shikayath rahti ke paani ki khillat ka bhi khayal nahin kartey, yeh wo khako aatey aur baar baar lota leke ghus jaatey!!! Wo apna purana muhavra hai na Hyderabad ka \"moonh ka mazaa, gaaf ki kharaabi \"shayed ham jaison ke liye hi kaha gaya hoga.\"

Is board ki bataun sey puraney zamaney kay bataa yaad aajarai hai. Hamaray nani har saal char panch khandaanou key sath Pahadi Shareef jataey they. Badi bus ka intezam hota tha. Naukar chakar bhi saath chaltay they. Wahaa par khana pakta tha. Kya kachi imli ki daal banti thi key garam garam chawal key saath khanay mey jo maza aata tha key badi si badi shaadi key chowki key khanay mey untna mazaa nai aayingaa. Saath mai Bakri Eid kay gosht key rassi pey sukhayay huway kawab khaty they.

by **RadhikaJee** » Sun Aug 10, 2003 11:55 pm

Jo maza nashtay ka hota hai uski baat hi kuch aur hoti hai. Aur kas kar Hyderabadi nashtay to phir sab nashtao say uchaa hota hai. Paya, nehari, besan, chawal ki roti, bajray ki roti, khagina, aur kya bataon. Jab merey pati ka Delhi sey Hyderabad 1970s mey transfer huwa tha to mai kuch pareshaan ho gayi thi. Lekin Hyderabad aa kar jo doston ke ghar mey khana mila key ikdam sey dil khus ho gaya. Ab phir Delhi sey Hyderabad ka khana yaad aata hai.

Even the south indian food in Hyderabad tastes better. The sambar at Taj (which has been in Hyderabad for a long time) has a distictive Hyderabadi taste(khatta) compared to the sambar from other places. It is also interesting that Hyderabadi food is truly the blend of so many different influences --- mughlai, persian, central asian, african (siddi) and most importantly local tamarind and other spices indigenous to the Deccan-Telugu region. Hyderabadi food is therefore truly the food for all of the diverse people who make Hyderabad so special.

Aap mey sey koi bhi kabhi \"malai key lacchey\" kayain? Wod mathi ki handi mai cycle riksha mey bechneu aatey they. Hamara ghar Naubat Pahad pey Ritz hotel ke khreeb tha aur wahaa per kabhi kabhi malai key lacchey wala aata tha.

Kulchay Bhai:
 Yahaa par California mey toh ambaadey ki bhaji toh nani miltey laikin spinach ku agar chanay ki daal ke saath ambaday ki baji jaisa pakay to thoda mazaa toh aajata hai. Laikin phir bhi asli chhez ka maza nahi aata. Aap ko bohot bohot salam aur khaney peenay ki umar naseeb honay ki duwaa.

Arrey baccay logaan hamaray haath ka maikhalyaa ich nai bolkay dusray bi khanay khaingay to chetti ka doodh bi bhul jayingay. Hamara tamatay ka katt, bagarey baigan, dabal ka mittha, abhi aur kya bataau, aiyo maa tum logaan soon kay ich pagal hojaingay. Aaj kal kay bacchaun ku agar kuch banana aata toh merey ku batao na aur himmat hai toh mukhabla hojayay.

We lived in Hyderabad for 5 years in the 80s. Our friends from Bombay came to visit one time and we took them with us to a Hyderabadi wedding dinner at Nizam Club, near Public Gardens. Our friends were totally overwhelmed and to this day remember the elaborate dinner with 2 appetizers, lukmi, baked kheema kabab served in a plate, various main items including the famous Hyderabadi dum ki biryani and 3 desserts, shahi tukde, khubani ka mitha and a delicious firni with pineaple chunks and rose water. We now live in Bangalore and travel all over the country but literally nothing beats Hyderabadi food and \"shaan\".

Bhai HariBoot, I heard that in the Arab World, especially in Egypt, the equivalent of Ambada is Molukhya. Its green, leafy and slimy, just like our own Ambada. I am sure, our friends working and living in the Middle East must have tasted Molukhya. Lekin jaisa apney kaha, Ambada is Ambada.

Does anybody remember the chikkiwalla who used to sell chikki outside Little Flower High School in Chirag Ali Lane, off Abids Road? He also sold during cricket matches at the Lal Bahadur Stadium. What chikki -- I still remember the taste.

by **RatnaP** » Tue Aug 12, 2003 8:45 am

Ek baar hamari bua hamaray ghar visit karnay aayi thi. Hum jab Secunderabad may Marredpally may thay. Bua ko har evening walking lay jatay thay. Har evening gannay ka ras peetay thay aur Garden say currypuffs khaay thay. Kyaa aaj bhi Garden kay currypuff acchay ginay jaatay hai?

BadiMaa: Aap ki bataun sey bada mazaa aata hai magar aap kuch ghussey waley dikhtey hai. Ghussey ku thanda karney key liye kairi ka aabshola bana kay piyo. Yaa phir nai to Moharrum may banatay jaisa doodh ka sharbat, dhuvay kay flavor ka bana key piyo. Hona toh badmay hamamdastay say paan koot kay khaloy --- phir mizaaj accha hoinga.

He and his son in green leather bags full of chikkis! - You could see them in all Ranji Trophy and Moin-Ud-Dowla Cricket matches. Like expert fielders, they knew how to throw a chikki from the lowest tier of the stadium to a customer squatting at the highest tier! - And this reminds me of \"Chaoosh\", The Taj Icre-Cream Waley Chaoosh. His permanent point of sale was at All Saints High School, but the good natured and cricket loving Chaoosh, was always present at Fateh Maidan during Ranji and Moin-Ud-Dowla Matches. He even insisted that the player, who had just scored a hundred, take a bite of Choc-O-Bar in the field itself!!!!

by **shaikh** » Tue Aug 12, 2003 11:52 am

I remember...
 
 that chikki wala very well guys, hope he is safe and sound. he used to come to Methodist as well, but was very regular/prominent at fateh maidan.
 
 some times we used to just walk into the fateh maidan club kitchen and grab cakes/puffs/colas very easily and there we used to chat with people like Abid bhai/Wadekar/Prasanna and so on.

by BM » Tue Aug 12, 2003 3:42 pm

Us chikki waley kon bhool sakta hey? woh toh fateh maidan ki ronak tha... Test match ho, Ranji match ho, ya phir Moin-Ud-Dolah key matches woh toh wahan zaroor moujood hotey they.

Zara baitho yaaro, kaan jaarain! abhi pottey ko bhejko Komat Kuntey se Badi Boti aur Chakna mangataoN!
