Not only is it hands down the most popular dishes in Sindh but also one of the most popular dishes consumed in Pakistan. Sindhi biryani is served in nearly all the flights of Pakistan Internationa Airlines (PIA).

Sindhi Biryani can be made with Mutton, Beef or Chicken using this recipe. Today I am sharing the ‘made from scratch’ recipe – no store-bought Garam masala’s here.
