    About Tahari

    Tahari is special yellow rice cooked with potatoes or meat. It's the most popular recipe for lunch in Pakistan and India. Local people also call it Tehri, Tehari, Aloo walay chawal or simply Aloo ki Tahari.

    It's a simple and easy recipe that anyone can quickly prepare using a handful of ingredients from the pantry. Potatoes create a special taste and aroma with rice that makes a perfect combination to serve for dinner or lunch.

    People make it in different ways according to their region and taste. Some people like it in white color as they don't add turmeric powder in it and some are obsessed with the yellow color of the rice that makes it distinguished among other rice recipes of Indian food.

    Pakistani aloo ki tahari prepared with starchy potatoes and basmati rice. It's a form of veg pulao that you can serve with kabab and raita.

    Hyderabadi tahari is also famous due to its special taste and aroma. In the same way, Bengali tahari is famous to cook with meat.

    All recipes of tahari are more or less the same with few variations in cooking methods and techniques that make a big difference.

    Serving At Lunch: I personally love to serve tahari with Shami kabab, green chutney, and veg salad.

    Serving At Dinner: The best combination comes up with Chicken curry or keema as it makes a perfect meal. Also, add raita and kachumar salad to add more flavor.
