Qubani Ka Meetha
This delicious delicacy is a Hyderabadi tradition, widely respected in the community and saved for important occasions like weddings. Qubani Ka Meetha literally translates as "apricot sweet" since Qubani, or Khubani in Urdu, means apricot. As suggested by the name, there are just two main components in this dish, which let the fruit's inherent flavours—including the usage of apricot seed—take centre stage. A long cooking technique that reduces the fruit to a jam-like consistency without adding any more flavours is responsible for the enchanted metamorphosis. This dessert may appear basic, but the sweet, flowery overtones of the apricot really come through, making it a beloved treat in and around Hyderabad.
