Many dishes of Amrawati have touch of Hyderabi dishes. In 1953, Amrawati – Maharashtra  (previously known as Berar) was under the rule of Nizam of Hyderabad. So many of its cuisine has the influence of the Hyderabad region. Among such recipe is Tahri. This one pot meal is simple to prepare& beats the biryani in terms of taste & flavor. Each rice is full of flavor of chicken & masalas.
