Fish is a famous food item in Pakistan. Fish is processed and cooked accordingly in order to prepare different types of dishes. Biryani is although a frequently cooked dish in Pakistani homes, however many women do not know about cooking a fish biryani. Procedure is almost similar to general biryani recipes however it has additional spices for marination and cooking which are not a part of regular biryani.
Specific ingredients used in the recipe are star anise (badiyan), dried plums (khushk aloo bukhara), mint leaves (pudina), nutmeg and mace (jaifal or javitri), black cardamom (kali elaichi), green cardamom (sabz elaichi), chili, black pepper and coriander powder. All these spices plus fish meat, all make it up a very scrumptious biryani to have in the meal.

Hi kfoods, hope all your team is fine. I am Nadia from Chinese city Macau. Since here in China, we are very short of halal foods, we do have to cook foods ourselves in our neat pots. We can't rely on the foods available at local restaurants here. I follow your website for newest recipe ideas. I am thankful to you for making it possible for us to cook halal foods in the country abroad.
Sincerely,
