from, but my husband's cousin said some of his Pakistani friends made it for him. It is cooked in one pot and has chicken, rice, potatoes(I think) and cauliflower all layered and when ready to serve it, it is "flipped" onto a platter so that whatever the first ingredient in the pot was is now on top.

biryani? it sounds like it its quite easy to make but hard to explain look it up on net they have good recipes. basically you cook the curry quite saucy make boiled rice seporate mix all together

i know something similar called maqlouba, i dont know if its the one your talking about the one i am talking about when you flip it the chicken would be on the too,then the vegetables then the rice

it is called "baryani". but i don't know about the recipe.

its biryani...the flipping isn't really part of the recipe..they just do it to get all the stuff out on top..lol heres a recipe for vegetable biryani http://www.indianchild.com/Recipes/rice_dishes_recipe/vegetable_biryani_recipe.htm

its called maglooba .. although its originally a middle eastern dish ..//x

If they are Pakistani its Biryani, if they are Palestinian its Maklooba. It may even be Maklooba because cauliflower is famous in that dish. BTW, I absolutely love maklooba its one of my favorites :)

biryani has no cauliflower don't know this dish but maybe it's ma'loobi like Lost said

it gotta be biryani. the best food in the world!

Hmm that sounds Araby rather than Pakistani. Its prolly that maklooba thing people are talking about. Pakistanis don't just cook biryani and curry sheesh people!!

i just read the dish part and pakistani friends part......and i assumed u prolly talkin about biryani........so i read other answers and most sayin biryani
