BIRYANI


Pakistan has marvelous dishes full of spices and phenomenal aromas that can easily induce hunger.
There are tons of different ways to cook one single dish by changing spices or cooking techniques as every region has its own special way of cooking, therefore Pakistan has diverse variety of food.
There are some dishes that are very easy to make and quick (karahi) and some dishes require hours to cook (haleem, paye).
Everyone has their own way of enjoying food, some prefer it with naan or roti and some prefer it with rice.



Biryani has its origin from Indian sub-continent however it is among the most traditional dishes of Pakistan and known in other regions as well. Ingredients vary from region to region. The exact origin of biryani is unknown.
This Rice-based  food is full of spices. The most common is chicken and beef biryani  however it is also cooked with fish, eggs, vegetable ,prawns.
It is made by mixing curry in semi-cooked rice separately. If you  jump on youtube or google you will find many types of recipes each guiding you to a different type of Biryani.
As Karachiites are known for their excellent cooking abilities, you will always hear a person from Karachi that this biryani is nothing like biryani from Karachi. 
Biryani is always served with raita (yogurt mixed with cumin seeds, black pepper and salt) and salad. If you are a foreigner don’t miss having biryani.
