Hyderabad’s 400-year-old culinary history, like its culture, is unmatched by any other state in India.  Of all the Muslim cuisines, Hyderabadi is the only one in the sub-continent that can boast of a major vegetarian section. This has much to do with the local influences. Considering that the elite of the erstwhile Hyderabad state came from the north of India and was almost entirely Muslim, this is a little surprising. The nation’s vegetarians, of course, stand to gain by it.
Some of the salient features of Hyderabadi food are the key flavours of coconut, tamarind, peanuts and sesame seeds. The main spice is chilli, which is used in abundance and is the reason for the one word used to describe Hyderabadi cuisine - fiery!
The cuisine draws its flavour from two rich legacies - the Deccan cuisine of Nizams and the spicy Andhra style of food, laced with mustard, garlic and chillies and eaten with doles of chutney and pickle.

Method

Step 1

Clean and trim excess fat and skin from the drumsticks. Dry them with a clean and absorbent kitchen towel. Make three to four long deep incisions.

Apply lemon juice and keep aside. Peel ginger and garlic, wash and grind them to a paste. Wash green chillies, remove stem and chop finely.

Step 3

Hang skimmed milk yogurt for fifteen to twenty minutes to drain off excess water.

Step 5

Marinate chicken drumsticks in above mixture and refrigerate for one to two hours. Preheat Convection oven to 220°C.

Step 6

Place marinated chicken drumsticks on a flat dish and roast for five minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce oven temperature to Convection 180°C and further cook for fifteen to twenty minutes or till completely cooked.

Step 7

Turn drumsticks couple of times to ensure even cooking and colour. Serve hot sprinkled with chaat masala and lemon wedges.
