Biryani vs Pulao: An exciting social media debate

[Syed1.]

The answer will depend on where you are from. For example, I'm from Karachi and most people from there will agree that nothing even comes close to chicken biryani WITH aloo, however, people from Punjab KPK side will disagree and they will prefer pulao. To each his own.

Even in Baluchistan, Pulao is more popular than Biryani. So, Pulao wins 3-1 hands down.

chicken biryani is not real biryani but try chicken biryani near bait ul mukaram masjid!! bhai bomb hai!

Pulao without a doubt. And also kabli pulao. Biryani is not bad either.

Biryani and pulao has so many varieties and most of them are good so there is no real competition. I love them all.

I would kill for my mom's beef pulao with alu ka raita. She uses 'seene ka gosht" or brisket and leave the fat on the bone while making the stock.
Fennel seed is the secret ingedient which gives the pulao the aroma to die for.
She serves is with alu ka baghara raita; it's very simple and even I can make it. Boil 2-3 medium potatoes and crush them coarsely. Mix 2 cups of yoghurt with 3/4 (quarter) cup of luke warm water, add salt and 1 teaspoon chili powder and crushed potatoes and mix well. Now heat 2-3 table spoons oil or ghee and add 1 teaspoon cummin seed and fry till the aroma is released and pour over the raita. The tempering will give the raita extra sourness which goes very well with pulao.
We usually have it on wednesdays, its always been the pulao day

I belong to a kashmiri pathan family living in Karachi and we also love 'dumba' meat. There's a very simple way of making dumba biryani which requires only a few ingredients like onions, ginger, lots of garlic, shahi zeera (black cummin) and sour yoghurt. Everyone has to try this once.

One of my favorite biryanis is served by the memon community in Karachi. it's called 'Bohri Biryani'.
I love the aromas of jaiphal and javitry (nutmeg and mace) and the sourness which comes from the plums (alu bukhara). Mom makes it on special occaisions only.
