The origins of Tahri can be traced back to the Mughal era in the Indian subcontinent. It was a popular dish among the Mughal emperors and was often prepared in royal kitchens.

Tahri is prepared by cooking basmati rice with a mixture of spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Vegetables like potatoes, peas, and carrots are often added. Some variations of the dish also include meat, typically chicken or mutton.
