8 Traditional Pakistani Foods & Their Origins

[TejasMk3]

Biryani is from Persia not Turkey.

Birinj mean rice in persia!

Perhaps the modern name is from there, we called it oon soru in Tamil, besides every region has it's own version of it, probably a very old dish used as rations.

There is mention about a rice dish known as “Oon Soru” in Tamil as early as the year 2 A.D. Oon Soru was composed of rice, ghee, meat, turmeric, coriander, pepper, and bay leaf, and was used to feed military warriors.

Biryani - Mesopotamian/Iraqi hence half persian-half turkic origin theories. Check out Yemeni Mandi which is also basically biryani. Meat with rice isn't exactly a novelty. Turkic origin theories b/c biryani is basically a pulao.

Desis took everything Middle Eastern/Central Asian and made it either spicier or sweeter.
