Biryani v Pulao v Mutton Pulao?

[Jang]

Biryani vs Pulao? which is better?

I personally prefer Pulao, but it has to be a well made pulao from an expert. I love Yakhni pulao, also Kabuli one is really good

In terms of biryani, Karachi has the best and some North Indian ones like from Delhi/UP regions are really good

In our family Pulao is eaten more and loved more, my mom side of the family makes really good Yakhni lamb/beef pulao, it's more like a family recipe passed down through generations. I believe this pulao came from the Delhi muslim pathan familes orginally, it's very similar to the Peshawar/Afghan Pulaos

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

is this even a question ?

Biryani all the way

 

[96NotOut]

Pulao.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Biryani any day of the week.
I can eat biryani all my life and be happy.

 

[Mamoon]

Biryani > Kabli pulao > normal pulao.

The vibrant color of biryani, a combination of yellow and white brings life to the dining table. The potato in it has a special savory taste and texture and when you combine it with raita, it's the most perfect combination.

Chicken biryani is better than mutton, but that's a personal preference.

 

[96NotOut]

Although yes, the aloo in biryani is indeed special.

 

[blinding light]

Well cooked mutton biryani is perfection!

But Multani yakhni pulao is my family's speciality.

This is going to be very hard for me, I don't think I can make a choice!

 

[Mamoon]

Although yes, the aloo in biryani is indeed special.

As special as the leftover milk in a bowl of cornflakes.

 

[Afridi96]

Easily Biryani.

 

[Saqs]

Mutton biryani >

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Biryani.

 

[96NotOut]

Ugh, no.

That's nauseating.

 

[96NotOut]

6 biryanis, 2 pulaos and 1 undecided. :/

Pulao is better than biryani.

 

[blinding light]

I love zaafrani biryani (as opposed to those laden with aaloos)

 

[blinding light]

This dhaaga needs a poll!!

 

[Saqs]

I can see this thread becoming a major problem in Ramadan.

 

[Noora420]

I hate rice. Carbohydrates.

 

[Jang]

I love zaafrani biryani (as opposed to those laden with aaloos)

I agree, there should never be vegetables in biryanis, only meat and rice. I also like the Zafarani and Awadhi(north Indian) version, which have no potatoes

But then again, I prefer Pulao overall, because it can be really addicting if it's well made

Unless its vegetable biryani..

I also tried prawn biryani, it was very tasty..

But ufff, ghar ke yakhni wali pulao aaahhh..

This is like choosing in between your left and right eye!

Kabli pulao in tandem with Kabli tikkay is quite a feast.

Yup Prawn biryani is amazing!, one of my fav versions of biryani

and I know, Yakhni pulao is out of the world!!!

Ah yes, I see people intentionally bumping it during Ramadhan

 

[Justcrazy]

No polls

 

[Mamoon]

Prawn biryani is so overrated.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pulao is healthier I suppose , Biryani is heavy

 

[Jang]

Great combo indeed!

 

[Justcrazy]

True .

Mutton is best for Biryani .

Prawn biryani is so overrated.

It's very different from regular biryani, but I find the taste unique, it's more like that Spanish Sea food/rice dish, payaya or something

Yes, it doesn't taste like biryani to me.

 

[Mamoon]

Mutton and chicken.

 

[blinding light]

Prawn biryani is good, but mutton is better.

Has anyone had chilman biryani? OMG HEAVEN!

 

[Justcrazy]

Mutton and chicken.

Biryani likely to win

 

[Mamoon]

Not a fan of fish biryani either.

 

[Afridi96]

Biryani likely to win

Yes, i'm actually surprised 2/3 people said Pulao

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Fish biryani is rubbish...
Prawn biryani... argh I shouldn't be reading this thread specially after my workout

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not like Potatoes inside biryani .

 

[N.B.K.Q-95]

Ever tried smoked biryani?

It is the food from heaven brought to earth in the hands of an angel.

 

[Mamoon]

[Vayuu]

Eat something healthy yaar.

-Burn some coal
-Put a bit of oil on a piece of aluminium foil
-Place the foil on the top of your prepared dish
-Place the coal on the foil and cover the dish immediately.
-Leave it there for a few minutes.
- Ta daa!

 

[blinding light]

I gave in - to the embrace of ze biryani.

We can argue all we want over the types of biryanis and pulaos, but NOTHING can ever beat the perfection of chilman biryani - no way, no how!

 

[Jang]

^ never tried chillman, any pics? how does it taste?

 

[kaayal]

Mutton and Prawn biriyaani.

Is that found in MIddle East? I believe I tried it there

 

[Jang]

actually from what I heard, Biryani itself came from pulao, pulao is older. Biryani was accidentally created by pulao chefs at the time, when they were experimenting around with different ingredients

 

[Mamoon]

Logically, one would infer that pulao give rise to biryani as a result of experimentation and tinkering.

yup it happened in the famous nawab kitchens of south asia at some point, experimentation gave rise to many of the famous dishes today

 

[blinding light]

I'm not sure how its made (PC Dumpukht serves awesome chilman biryani!) .. But its less spicier than normal biryani, has saffron, nuts and kishmish in it, as well as a baked layer of "pastry" or sth (dont know what its called)..

It is scrumptious. Sheer heaven!

Now I won't be able to sleep at night

 

[Zohaib Shah]

^This.

 

[waqar goraya]

Whatever is cooked well.

 

[Mamoon]

Chilman biryani looks interesting.

 

[Eye_Done]

Pulao is for sick people. Biryani is for everybody

 

[waqar goraya]

Biryani is not for sick people. too spicy for a patient.

 

[Mamoon]

Pulao is for sick people. Biryani is for everybody

Don't confuse pulao with khichri.

 

[waqar goraya]

A spicy mutton pulao is better than Biryani. Add a biryani masala to the usual pulao menu and feel the difference.

 

[Mamoon]

Dumba pulao is lovely as well.

 

[battler]

Biryani all the way

 

[blinding light]

Chilman biryani looks interesting.

If I'm not wrong, the bread/pastry atop the rice is used to give "dum" to the chawal.

You should try it the next time you come to Lahore!

We don't each masalas/spices at home so I find Pulao better than Biryani

I am assuming your are talking about Indian punjabis. Pakistani punjabis do eat a lot of pulao and biryani. I am not punjabi, but I find Muslim punjabi and sikh/hindu punjabi cuisine is very different. I wonder why though, because even sikhs eat meat
