Tribal People Try Each Other's Traditional Biryani
About this video
In this Tribal People Try episode it's biryani. The tribe look it over, ask the questions anyone would, and then taste it and give the honest answer.
What is biryani?
Biryani is layered rice and meat cooked together with whole spices, fried onions, yogurt and saffron — Pakistan's celebration dish and the subject of arguments about which city does it best. It is the recipe most requested from the channel.
What to watch for
When outsiders try it, the heat and the whole spices — a clove or cardamom in the mouth — are the surprises. When the tribe try a foreign 'biryani', the verdict is usually swift and unkind.
The comparison they always make
Sindhi, Karachi, Lahori, Hyderabadi: everyone has a side. The village makes it for Eid and weddings in enormous pots, and a good biryani is the highest compliment a cook can get.
