#Eggs - For all the egg lovers, here is an amazing Hyderabadi style egg curry, called 'Ande Ka Salan' in the local lingo. It has a distinct flavour that comes from few aromat spices like sesame seeds, peanuts, fresh coconut, mint and other dry spices. This is the base of the gravy which is both spicy and tangy.

It can be relished with steamed rice, jeera rice, pulao, plain biryani, tandoori roti, naan, rumali roti or just plain chapatti.
