Not saying that he does so (he may have a recipe which I do not know) but the only way I could get that sort of results would be by adding a little maida to the milk.

Bajaj Saab, the water is drained out of the container, after the milk curdles. The Curds sold at Bilal are made out of Buffalo Milk, which generally tends to be tad more thicker than the Cows Milk. I doubt the logic of adding a little Maida to the milk.

Add milk powder to your milk when you make curd. It will be thick enough to stick on the ceiling.

I dont doubt the curd's quality for 2 reasons:

1. The bottom of the vessel with the curd was covered with the whey (the watery part). He "cut" out our portion from the thick top half

2. Most importantly...it smelled just like how fresh curd should - like it does in a traditional sweet shop! The smell made me weak in the knees....

Abt the milk powder...cant really say....mainly due to reason#2 and the taste.

If it has to be Point Pleasant, then the routing needs to be planned as follows:
1. Cafe 555 - Masab Tank
2. Point Pleasant - Banjara Hills Road# 10
3. Hyline Bakery - King Kothi

Followed by Dinner at Shadab.

In this case, the route would be Masab Tank (Cafe 555) - Banjara Hills Rd#1 - Banjara Hills Rd#10 (Point Pleasant) - Taj Krishna/Khairatabad Road - Khairatabad X Roads - Khairatabad Flyover - Lumbini Park - Liberty X Roads - Basheer Bagh - King Kothi (Hyline Bakery) - Abids - Afzal Gunj - Madina X Roads (Shadab)

Waseem Bhai, can you initiate the much awaited list called as "Confirmed List"

I suggest that some one coming from Mehdipatnam side pick up and bring a few plates of 555 haleem.

Some one coming from Banjara / Jubilee Hills side pick up and bring a few plates of Point Pleasant haleem.

Some one coming via Khairatabad Flyover pick up and bring a few plates of Paradise haleem.

Assemble and try out above three along with Hyline haleem at Hyline.

Move on to Shadab.

Lets keep it short and sweet and not have a long meet this time. Actually, I have some plans for 4th early morning.

I agree that the haleem parcels would not remain piping hot by the time they are devoured and that may not be acceptable to most.

re: The 2013 Hyderabad Meets Thread : When is next one???

Wow I envy the people who participated in the meet and continued to eat and eat and eat that delicious Haleem. I had to go to Shirdi, else I would've joined the meet too.

But, from those photos, I just figured out that I'm the youngest in the crowd.
All of you guys seems like too seniors and experts, and some of them may have a son of my age too. Any bachelors here please?

Right on. I like curd too but, if its as thick as a slab, I hate it. There has to be a right amount of thickness. The curd that we had at Bilal was so thick it was bad. I like the thickness which is perfect at home and something like a Nestle Curd. When you dip a spoon, it should easily pass through not having to shove it in with all your might.
