Large green chili stuffed with spiced peanut-onion filling, dipped in chickpea batter and deep-fried. The chili is big and mild enough to eat as a snack rather than a chili-eating challenge -- a genuine Hyderabad original, ubiquitous at evening street stalls across the Old City. Charminar area street stalls and Hussain Sagar Lake vendors are both popular evening settings.
A square-shaped pastry filled with spiced minced mutton, deep-fried -- flatter, crispier, and distinctly Nizami compared to a standard samosa. Nimrah Café serves it alongside Irani chai; Old City snack stalls near Madina Circle and Charminar are also reliable.
For something more theatrical, Pathar Ka Gosht -- thin meat slices grilled directly on a hot granite stone -- is an evening-only Old City street specialty near Charminar, worth seeking out specifically for the cooking spectacle.
