I fell in love with India the first time I visited the country in January of 2018. Eleven months later, in November, I embarked upon on the most epic trip of my life: a 21-day trip back to this beautiful and charming country. This time, I went with my good friend Sam, and we set out to explore seven cities all around the country.

Our time in Hyderabad was flying by, and on the morning of our third day in the city, we got up early to do some more exploring, eat some more incredible food, and check out an amazing nearby fortress with our buddy Sailesh. Come along with us as we continue our exploration of Hyderabad!

Our third day in Hyderabad started with a scrumptious southern Indian breakfast at Minerva Coffee Shop, a 29-year-old vegetarian restaurant that is very popular and well-known for its southern Indian cuisine.

The first dish I tried was the Vada, which is a savory, fried doughnut that comes with an assortment of sauces and chutneys. The vada was perfect: flaky and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The coconut chutney was unreal and a little spicy! There was also a spicy, gingery chutney that was really fantastic as well. I loved dipping the vada into the sambar, too! It was full of tomato and onion flavor and was like a delicious soup.

Next, we tried Upma, a semolina dish that contains vegetables and green chilies and was served with the same chutneys as the vada. It was a lot like polenta and was a little hot, and very delicious. I loved it with the coconut, spicy ginger, and tomato chutneys, and the texture was amazing.

Our next dish was a popular, pasty rice dish called Pongal, which contains lentils, peppercorns, peanuts, cashews, and curry leaves and is always accompanied by the peanut chutney, ginger chutney, and sambar. The texture is like an interesting mix of risotto and mashed potatoes. It’s thick and heavy and almost doesn’t feel like a rice dish, but it is incredible!

Next, we had some gigantic Puris, or puffed-up, hollow flatbread, along with potato curry and vegetable curry. You pop the puri and tear pieces off to dip into the curries. It was so delicious! The vegetable curry was rich and full of vegetable flavor, including carrots and beans, while the potato one was a little spicy and had some cheese in it.

Next was Uttapam, a savory pancake that’s thicker than a dosa and full of curry leaves, onions, cashews, and carrot, and comes with vegetable curry and more chutneys! It was like a regular American pancake, but with the rich flavors and contrasting textures of all of the vegetables and nuts. I loved the spicy ginger chutney with it. It was pretty extreme!

I ended my meal with a coffee, which Minerva Coffee Shop is known for. It was almost like café con leche, a Cuban-style coffee, which is usually 40% coffee and 60% milk. I drank it straight, with no sugar, and it was amazing! It was naturally sweet even without any added sugar. It was really strong and it woke me up!

After our amazing southern Indian breakfast, Sam, Sailesh, and I headed off to Golconda Fort, which, according to legend, began as a mud fort around 1143, when a shepherd boy found an idol in the area. The king of the Kakatiya Dynasty ordered a mud fort to be built around the site when he heard about this, and the fort grew larger and became more complex over the centuries that followed.

My friends and I visited the fort’s main gate, stables (which used to house animals like elephants), and took the long and hard walk up 360 steps in the blistering heat to get to the very top, where we visited the Sri Mahakali Temple and could see all of Hyderabad below us. The boulders in the temple area are covered in beautiful and intricate paintings of Hindu deities.

I hope you enjoyed this southern Indian breakfast and fortress tour! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment below! And please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already so you don’t miss out on any of my upcoming food and travel content!
