Whether you have or haven’t tried Pakistani food, you must try Biryani at least once in a lifetime. Although, it is not possible that you won’t eat it again after trying it once. Biryani is the favorite food of Pakistanis and Indians but is also the most loved Pakistani food of Americans, Chinese, Bangladeshis, and more. If you have not tasted this dish, you might think why such hype and answer is only “Eating it onceâ€. The traditional Pakistani Biryani is mostly cooked in two styles, and people worldwide love both. It is cooked a bit differently in all parts of the country but loved in all flavors and cooking styles. Let’s dig more into why it is a favorite food for desi people:
Perfect Combination of All Food Types
In one serving of Biryani, you have everything you need in a perfect meal. You have your share of protein, carbs, and fats. Unlike many dishes, you don’t need to pick and choose where your portion of protein, fat, or carbs will come from. Mostly Biryani is served with raita and salad. Raita is yogurt made from mint and green chili blended to form a thick sauce. So, in one serving of Biryani, you get all the macros and important vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc.
Variety of Biryani
Most people have only tasted chicken or mutton biryani, but there is so much variety in how you can cook it and what ingredients you use. Other than the two popular biryanis, you have vegetable biryani, beef biryani, kofta biryani, tikka biryani, and qeema biryani. If you are a vegetarian, you can still enjoy Biryani. All of these different types of Biryani taste different and delicious. The unique taste of all these biryani types allows you to have many options, so if you are bored eating your favorite chicken biryani, which is not likely, you can try others.
Exceptional Taste and Aroma
Above all, what’s most loveable about the Biryani is simply its unique taste and aroma. Biryani is one of its kind when it’s about the taste, as you will not find a dish with similar taste anywhere in the world. Unlike Pulao and vegetable rice that are found in different regions of the world with little to more difference, Biryani has its origin in Hindustan (Pakistan and India). Due to its unforgettable taste, it is said that you can never forget it and would crave it again and again.
