Hyderabadi Marag Recipe
Marag is a Hyderabadi flavourful thin mutton stew which is usually served as a starter with sheermal or rumali roti at weddings. The city of Hyderabad is famous for its wide range of non vegetarian cuisine. The city of Nawab's true to its name is the home to the exquisite and aromatic delicacies. The array of spices used in cooking traditional dishes imparts the eye catching colour and lip smacking flavour. Traditionally it is slow cooked on wood fire, but with the invasion of stove tops and pressure cooker this practise has gradually been replaced.
Serve Hyderabadi Marag with Rumali Rotis or Phulkas for a weekend lunch or dinner.
