Lets sort this out for once and ever ...

I thin Biryani is said to have originated in Hyderabad in Souhtern India. SOmeone with mroe knowledge can correct me if I am wrong...

And what Arabic ancestors? There are no Arab descendents in India today as far as I am aware...

Biryani as we know it basically a Persian Rice dish high on Indian Spices .Biryani or beryā(n as it is known in Persia is (fried before cooking)..

well i was brought up in such a way i was exposed very little to the society and Pakistani cuture , cuisine etc
Parents are just too posessive and protective
I don't know what loadshedding feels like never ate Gol gappas on the street used public transport only once or twice in my life

If you don't know loadshedding then you are not a Pakistani And where exactly is that corner of Pakistan where there is no loadshedding please inform so I can occupy it
You never even ate Gol gappas on street
Well the last one even I haven't ever done so you're excused

wow so much discussion on my thread !!
Now here is a little secret and twist.

As expected Biryani is preferred choice of masses here. But do you know what we actually call Biryani is not biryani (al least the most popular versions) at all in its literal meaning

 

[Aamna14]

hmmm....
halwa poori is lethal combination and I like it........
what about jelabi...and samosa....do pakistani have it..
and what about gol-gappe.....girls over here eat them a lot....

All of it especially Gol gappas and since I love spicy food thats one thing I love. Samosa is also quite common but I have rarely had jalebi. The last time I had it was on someone's wedding

I thought biryani was either Arabic or Mexican food the whole time, but I love it if done properly.

nope . Biryani has roots in persia but the Biryani famous in South Asia is a different beast with all those wonderful spices and our special Basmati Rice

Biryani is a persian word.

The Persian word for rice, berenj, comes from the Sanskrit.

From this word Biryani is derived.

There is plenty of shawarma, try Syrian shawarma one day also.

Much of our food is a combo of rice and chicken, or rice and meat, or both with soup and vegetables. I can show a few plates if I could find some.

Shawarma, Falafel, Al Kabsa are my fav arabian food ! last ramzan i tried Camel Steaks but nothing extraordinary
