History[edit | edit source]
The history of Sindhi Biryani can be traced back to the Mughal Empire, when biryani was introduced to the Indian subcontinent. The Sindhi variant of biryani evolved over time, incorporating local ingredients and cooking techniques.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
Sindhi Biryani is made with basmati rice, meat (usually chicken, mutton, beef, or fish), and a blend of spices. The dish is also known for its use of yogurt, mint, coriander, fried onions, and potatoes. The use of souring agents such as lemon, plum, and tomato is a distinctive feature of Sindhi Biryani.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The preparation of Sindhi Biryani involves cooking the meat and rice separately, then layering them together. The meat is marinated with spices and yogurt, then cooked until tender.

The dish is then sealed and cooked on a low heat until the flavors meld together.
