context_page_description: Hyderabadi Muslims, also referred to as Hyderabadis are an ethnoreligious community of Urdu-speaking muslims, part of a larger group of Deccani people, from the area that used to be the princely state of Hyderabad in India in the regions of Marathwada, Telangana, and Hyderabad-Karnataka.
  While the term "Hyderabadi" commonly refers to residents in and around the city of Hyderabad, regardless of ethnic origin, the term "Hyderabadi Muslims" more specifically refers to the native Urdu speaking ethnic Muslims of the erstwhile princely state. The collective cultures and peoples of Hyderabad Deccan were termed "Mulki,", a term still used today. The native language of the Hyderabadi Muslims is Hyderabadi Urdu, which is a dialect of the Deccani language.
  With their origins in the Bahmani Sultanate and then the Deccan sultanates, Hyderabadi culture and cuisine became defined in the latter half of the reign of the Asif Jahi Dynasty in Hyderabad.
context_section_description: The native cooking style of the community is the Hyderabadi cuisine, which evolved during the Asaf Jahi period. It is heavily influenced by Mughal, Turkish, and Arab along with the influence of the native Telugu and Marathwada cuisines.
