TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ The aroma of Hyderabad’s trademark cuisine biryani, baghare baingan and seviyan — may ‘waft’ through the air the next time you receive a mail from the India Post.
These three signature dishes of Hyderabad have made their way into India postage, with the Department of Post issuing stamps with photos of these dishes.
These stamps are part of the postage on 24 different Indian dishes, including the famous Tirupati laddu. Andhra dishes idlidosa and pongal – have also been honoured with exclusive stamps.
Stamps on Hyderabadi dishes have come as a tribute to the rich and varied cuisine of the city two months ahead of the 500th anniversary of the construction of Golconda Fort and foundation of Qutub Shahi dynasty. Biryani was nurtured in the royal kitchens of Qutub Shahis and Asaf Jahis.
