HALEEM- the Nehruvian style of capturing this Hyderabad delicacy
----------------------------------------
That's hyderabad conqured.
But not the way Sardar Patel did.
It's the way Nehru would have preferred, the way he did in Kashmir.
Patel captured states once for all.
Contrarily, Nehru did it the other way around. He professed a capture, but in substance , got the capturer  incarcerated.
Today Hyderabad is an unequivocal part of India. Kashmir too is, but not the whole. Even the remaining part isn't as unequivocally with India as is Hyderabad. Allegorically speaking, it is a severed  Kashmir that rules over the tranquillity and peace of the Indian Nation, courtesy Nehru.
It is that kind of Nehruvian capture of Hyderabad, I'm displaying here, vide a Hyderabad preparation, called Haleem, that I claim to have Nehruvianly captured. It implied that this non-veg preparation with wheat-Chana Dal and mutton as it's main ingredients , is a Hyderabadi delicacy I have before me. Even though I claim having captured it's aroma, fact remains, it is the dish that practically captures one who consumes it. It enslaves your palate, forcing you to crave it unsatiatingly. It is so easy to digest despite being a mutton preparation that within hours filling feeling evaporates and you are once again hungry, craving g for this coveted stuff , like we keep perpetually craving that some day we shall have a Kashmir as free of analogies as is Hyderabad , despite an Obsisi, just because Hyderabad had a Patel to handle, unlike Nehru who had a Kashmir and no other Princely state to mess up with.
