Pakistani Biryani is a rich and celebratory rice dish made by layering marinated meat—such as chicken, mutton, or beef—with aromatic basmati rice, fried onions, yogurt, tomatoes, potatoes, and a blend of whole spices. While all biryanis share a base of dum-cooked flavor, each regional style has its own unique character:

1. Sindhi Biryani (origin: Sindh province) is tangy and fiery, using dried plums (aloo bukhara), green chilies, and mint for a sour-spicy balance. It's known for deep flavor layering and is often served with boiled eggs and raita.
2. Karachi Biryani (origin: Karachi) is bold, heavily spiced, and intensely aromatic, often featuring vibrant color separation, extra chili, and masala-laced potatoes. It's a signature dish of urban street food and weekend meals.
3. Lahori Biryani (origin: Lahore) is typically milder and creamier, with a focus on yogurt-based marinades, subtle spices, and a slightly sweeter balance. It may include caramelized onions and saffron but is less chili-forward than its southern cousins.

All three are typically served with raita, kachumber salad, or pickle, and are essential to Pakistani weddings, Eid tables, and Friday family feasts.
