Dum Ke Roat Recipe: What Goes Into Making Hyderabad's Beloved Cookie
Hyderabad's food story is not all about biryani and haleem. The city's identity is also steeped in its bustling bakery culture. Trays of Osmania biscuits, cream buns, and airy sponge cakes beckon from glass counters and street-side stalls. From the Irani cafés of Abids and the suburban bakeries of Toli Chowki to the hip cafés in Hitech City, these spots have become everyday sanctuaries for tea drinkers and snack hunters. Each bite reflects a blend of Mughlai, Turkish, and Deccani influences that are stitched into the city's culinary fabric. At the heart of this legacy sits dum ke roat - a dense, saffron-kissed cookie that is baked low and slow. Once a sacred offering, it has now become an all-season favourite. Packed with khoya, ghee, semolina, and crushed dry fruits, the cookie is chewy, rich, and deeply nostalgic. Today, dum ke roat is more than just a sweet treat. It is a bakery-born icon, loved across homes, communities, and airport snack counters alike. Also Read: 7 Iconic Eateries In Hyderabad To Experience Old-World Charm History Of Dum Ke Roat: How Hyderabad's Traditional Cookie Became An Icon The origin of dum ke roat dates back to the early 1900s, when Mir Osman Ali Khan, the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad, is believed to have introduced the sweet as part of a religious gesture. During a city-wide procession, he distributed roats while praying for the well-being of his grandson. That moment sparked a tradition. Every year, households would prepare dough at home and take it to communal ovens for the slow-baking process. Though rooted in prayer, the cookie eventually made its way into homes and bakery counters. Its rich flavour and comforting texture slowly cemented its place as a permanent fixture in the Hyderabadi sweet scene. Where To Eat Dum Ke Roat In Hyderabad: Best Places To Try Dum Ke Roat In Hyderabad If one place defines dum ke roat, it is Subhan Bakery in Nampally. Opened in 1971 and now run by Syed Irfan, Subhan sticks to traditional methods. The cookie is still baked with pure ghee, freshly made khoya, saffron, and a generous mix of cashews and almonds. While demand surges during Muharram and Ramzan, Subhan keeps the ovens going year-round to serve loyal regulars. Also Read: 5 Iconic Bakeries You Must Try In Hyderabad Other legendary spots for dum ke roat include: 1. Pista House: Known for their haleem, their roat version is slightly firmer - perfect for shipping across cities and even abroad. 2. Karachi Bakery: Famous for their fruit biscuits, Karachi Bakery's roat holds its own, widely enjoyed across Hyderabad and beyond. 3. Niloufer Café and Nimrah Bakery: These popular chai stops offer roat that pairs perfectly with Irani chai. Think quiet comfort in every bite. 4. Bakewell Cake House: Located in Mehdipatnam, this bakery is known for its Gur Roat - a jaggery-based version laced with dry ginger that adds an earthy depth. Dum Ke Roat Recipe: Step-By-Step Guide To Hyderabad's Traditional Cookie Do not be fooled by its simplicity - baking dum ke roat is a test of patience and balance. The right technique and ingredients make all the difference. Ingredients: Sooji and maida or atta Khoya Pure ghee Sugar or jaggery powder Crushed almonds, cashews, pistachios Aromatics like cardamom, saffron, nutmeg Milk and a dash of rose or kewra water Method: Soak and grind dry fruits to a coarse paste Warm the khoya and mix with sooji and flour Gradually add ghee, sugar, and aromatics Gently knead the dough, let it rest, and shape into thick discs Bake the discs on dum for a caramelised top and soft centre This slow-baking technique gives dum ke roat its iconic texture - crisp at the edges and chewy inside.

Heritage, hospitality and a heartfelt message: Miss World contestants get a taste of Telangana
Showcasing a blend of security, innovation, and culture, the 108 contestants of Miss World 2025 on Sunday were given a tour of two of Hyderabad's modern landmarks, the Telangana Police Integrated Command and Control Centre (TGICCC) and the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat. The event not only highlighted the State's safety infrastructure but also offered a taste of its heritage, hospitality and hope. The day began with a ceremonial entrance to the TGICCC by mounted police, whose stately procession set the tone for an extraordinary experience. A lively pipe band performance and a dog show welcomed the contestants, with Telangana's K9 units showcasing their training and agility. The visitors then explored an arms exhibition, which provided insights into the modern weaponry and protective systems used by the State's police force. Inside the TGICCC, contestants were introduced to the technological marvels that support the city's emergency response systems. From AI-driven analytics to integrated surveillance, the facility offered a rare glimpse into how Telangana manages urban safety with precision and innovation. The contestants then proceeded to the State Secretariat, where they were welcomed with the Telangana State anthem. A few contestants paid floral tributes to the Telangana Talli statue, before heading inside for high tea. Traditional Hyderabadi refreshments such as tea, Osmania biscuits and Karachi fruit biscuits were served, offering the guests a taste of the region's culinary charm. Chief Secretary K. Ramakrishna Rao said, 'This event gives us an opportunity to showcase our food, history and culture. Many participants have spoken to me and expressed enthusiasm about how Telangana has organised this event so far. We are sure the remaining part of the festival will be equally enjoyable for them.' Later in the evening, while addressing the gathering, Tourism Minister Jupally Krishna Rao struck a poignant note, acknowledging the Gulzar Houz fire accident that had occurred earlier. He concluded his remarks with a message of hope and pride, 'You are currently in India's youngest State. Telangana is one of the fastest growing States in the country and we continue to move forward with determination and hope. Over the past few days, you have journeyed across our land and glimpsed Telangana. When the world asks where they should go next, we hope you say, 'Telangana Zarur Aana'.' The evening culminated in a drone show above the Hyderabad skyline. The illuminated sky narrated Telangana's journey through symbols, the Telangana Talli statue, welfare schemes like Mahalakshmi and Rajiv Aarogyasri, the iconic Charminar, and culminated with the glowing words, 'Telangana Zarur Aana' , a heartfelt invitation to the world.
