This is @cocomuff from Pakistan. Hope everyone is doing great & having blessed life. @aaliarubab has arranged such a colorful contest “SHARE YOU TRADITIONAL FOOD” in @steempakistan. I am here to take part in it.
People across South Asia are fanatical about biryani, and that includes people of almost every age, from children to adults. Whenever we talk about our favorite food, biryani is definitely on the list. There are a few different ways in which biryani can be cooked and many people have different preferences when it comes to making this dish. Still, one thing we are sure of is that whenever it comes to eating good food, we all revolve around one thing, and that is Biryani.
What is your all-time favorite traditional food and why?
There is more than one way to cook Biryani. But one thing that all biryani cooking methods have in common is that both the spiced meat and aromatic rice are prepared separately, then layered together. The main spices and ingredients may vary in different recipes, but The main ingredients that are added are salt, onion, cumin, cloves, mint leaves, ginger and garlic, ghee, cardamom, and allspice. Popular meats used in biryani are chicken, lamb, beef and mutton. However, vegetarians prefer to eat biryani with just potatoes instead of meat.
But My all-time favorite traditional food is MATKA BIRYANI. I just love to eat biryani any time anywhere. I just love the way how it is cooked in MATKA. It's super delicious.
This Biryani is made in a very unique way. First, spices are prepared in a pot. Which is made using chicken or beef. Then boiled basmati rice is added to it. Then fried onion, coriander, mint and yolk color are added on top. A sheet is used to cover the matka after closing it with a lid. And finally it is kept on the coals for twenty to twenty five minutes in a special way. And then it is ready to eat.

There are many simple and easy varieties of Biryani all over the world, one of which is Hyderabadi Biryani. This is the most basic type of biryani and is also easy to prepare. Others include Sindhi Biryani, Memini Biryani, Bombay Biryani, Nalli Biryani, chicken biryani, beef biryani, white biryani and matka biryaniwhich are very popular around the world.
What is the most surprising or unexpected ingredients in your traditional food?
The most surprising and unexpected ingredient in my traditional food is beef. It is cooked in beef. For me, beef enhances the quality as well as the fragrance of food and its tenderness which makes it very delicious. Secondly, the surprise elements are the use of MATKA and then cooked on COALS. You can't imagine its taste. Simply mouth-watering.

If you had to describe your traditional food to someone who has never tasted it before, how would you describe its flavor and texture?
If I have to introduce biryani to someone, I would say biryani is a dish made with rice along with beef or chicken spices in a very unique way. Each grain of rice is full of richness. As soon as it is put in the mouth, its taste gives pleasure to the tongue which is not found in any other food. Second, the method of making it is very special. It is made inside a matka and then placed on coals to be smoked. Which gives a new identity to its taste. And one who eats this Biryani once wants to eat it again and again.

If you could only eat one traditional dish for the rest of your life, which one would it be and why?
I can eat this MATKA biryani for the rest of my life, I can eat it in breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. The reason behind eating this dish for the rest of my life is its flavors, the richness in every bite, and the unique way of cooking that enhances its flavors and beauty. So yes MATKA BIRYANI is the only dish I can eat for the rest of my life. The best biryani I could ever eat.
