Pairing Karahi correctly — a note on rooh afza rose syrup drink

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Karahi. I ordered it with rooh afza rose syrup drink and the fragrant from whole spices elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. Kashmiri chilli in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Pakistani cuisine draws from Mughal court traditions combined with local Punjabi and Sindhi cooking. The a Karachi biryani house is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Karahi with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
