Karachi Biryani

Karachi Biryani is a flavorful, aromatic rice dish originating from Karachi, Pakistan. It combines long-grain basmati rice with tender meat—such as chicken, beef, or mutton—cooked with a blend of spices, herbs, and sometimes potatoes. The dish is traditionally prepared by layering the partially cooked rice and meat, then steaming them together to allow the flavors to meld. Known for its rich taste, vibrant color, and fragrant aroma, Karachi Biryani often features hints of spices like cumin, cardamom, and cloves, creating a satisfying and complex palate that is popular across Pakistan and among its diaspora.
