The massive logistical feat of feeding thousands with a single stew
In short: Discover the industrial scale of food production in Hyderabad. This video takes you inside Pista House to see how they manage the staggering logistics of preparing 70,000 bowls of haleem daily during Ramadan.
Haleem is a thick, creamy stew that arrived in Hyderabad from Arabia in the 17th century. Originally known as 'harees'—meaning 'to squash'—the dish is traditionally prepared by pounding ingredients with wooden mallets until they reach a gooey consistency.
While it retains traditional base ingredients like goat and wheat, the Hyderabadi version is distinct for its heavy use of ginger, garlic, masala, and ghee. Its cultural significance is so high that in 2010, it received geographical indication status, legally protecting the 'Hyderabad haleem' label from being used by products made outside the region.
