Telangana's cuisine has a rich heritage that reflects the influences of various dynasties and cultures that have shaped its history. Before it became a separate state in 2014, it was part of the broader region of Andhra Pradesh and, as such, shares some similarities with Andhra cuisine. However, Telangana's food has a distinctive identity marked by its hearty flavors and an emphasis on millets, seasonal greens, lentils, and meats. The food is typically spicier compared to its neighboring regions, and the use of tamarind and sesame seeds is quite prevalent in its dishes.
