Telangana food is its own thing - separate from coastal Andhra, despite the shared Telugu language. The plateau geography of Mahbubnagar, Karimnagar, Warangal and Adilabad makes millets the default grain. Sajja (pearl millet) and jowar (sorghum) take the place rice has elsewhere. Cooking is leaner, drier, and uses ulavalu (horse gram) more than tuvar dal. The result is food that's intensely savoury without leaning on heavy gravies.
Hyderabad sits inside Telangana state, so the city's catering palate is Telangana-anchored even when the menu reads Andhra. Bisi Bisi's standard menu features Telangana staples - ulavacharu, sajja roti, jowar roti, vepudu, pesara punugulu, bachali kura - alongside the Hyderabadi-Muslim influence that rides into receptions through Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, mirchi ka salan and baghara baingan. Festival catering during Bonalu and Bathukamma is one of the few cuisines where the festival preparation is genuinely distinct from the rest of the year.
Signature Telangana dishes for catering
Items featured most often on Telangana catering menus. Customised to your event from a base of 60+ items at ₹420 + GST per plate.
Sajja roti / Jowar roti
Pearl millet and sorghum flatbreads. The Telangana grain default. Dryer, denser, more mineral than wheat phulka. Pairs with vepudu and ulavacharu.
Ulavacharu
Horse-gram broth. The dish that defines a Telangana sit-down lunch alongside or in place of rasam. Slow-cooked, deeply savoury, served warm.
Pesara punugulu
Green-gram fritters. A Telangana breakfast and snack staple. Crisp shell, soft interior. Live counter at sangeet and Bonalu festival catering.
Vepudu (dry curry)
The Telangana dry-curry tradition: bendakaya, dondakaya, kandabachali, drumstick - cooked with mustard, urad, dried chilli, kept dry to pair with millet rotis.
Hyderabadi Dum Biryani
Veg, chicken, and mutton variants. The Hyderabad signature. Pairs with mirchi ka salan, baghara baingan, raita. Ages well at scale - holds heat through transport.
Bachali kura
Malabar spinach with onions and dried chilli. Telangana home-cooking through and through.
Service style for Telangana catering
Telangana catering supports Buffet for receptions, Banti Bhojanam for traditional sit-downs, and dedicated festival formats for Bonalu (community pot of rice and chicken curry) and Bathukamma (sweet-forward women's gathering). Live biryani counter is a frequent request at scale.

Frequently asked questions
- How is Telangana cuisine different from Andhra?
- Drier, leaner, more millet-driven. Telangana leans on sajja (pearl millet) and jowar (sorghum) rotis, ulavacharu (horse-gram broth) instead of (or alongside) rasam, and dry vepudu curries. Andhra leans on rice, gongura, coconut-tamarind gravies, and seafood. Hyderabadi-Muslim biryani sits inside Telangana cuisine geographically.
- Do you cater Bonalu festival meals?
- Yes. Bonalu (mid-year community festival in Telangana) catering revolves around community pots of rice and meat - we cater the family meal that closes the day, with the festival-specific offerings coordinated through the WhatsApp follow-up.
- What's a typical Telangana wedding catering menu?
- Hyderabadi Dum Biryani in three variants (veg / chicken / mutton), mirchi ka salan, baghara baingan, raita, double ka meeta, alongside Telugu-Andhra side dishes. Most Hyderabad receptions blend Telangana / Andhra / North Indian in proportions you choose - we balance the ratio so the menu reads coherent rather than a bit of everything.
- Can I order millet-only / no-rice catering?
- Yes. Sajja roti, jowar roti, ragi mudde and millet-based pulao can replace white-rice items in the menu for diet-led events. Tell us in the WhatsApp follow-up; the kitchen plans separate prep from the start.
