Pro Tips
💡 Read the full recipe first
Before you start cooking, read all steps once. Knowing what comes next prevents mistakes mid-cooking.
💡 Prepare ingredients in advance
Chop, measure and arrange everything before lighting the stove — the way professional cooks do.
💡 Start with easy recipes
If you are new to cooking, begin with daal or aloo dishes, then work up to biryani and kebabs.
About Khana 786
Pakistani and desi cooking deserves its own recipe app. Khana 786 brings 903 recipes together — from everyday daal-sabzi and roti to special-occasion biryani, nihari, haleem and a full range of meethay (desserts).
Recipes are organized into 24 categories — nashta, salan, BBQ, snacks, drinks, pickles, diet food and more — so you always know where to look. Each recipe lists ingredients and step-by-step instructions in both Urdu and English, written the way home cooks actually talk.
Beyond recipes, the app includes 160 practical kitchen tips: how to keep spices fresh, fix an over-salted salan, store atta, tenderize meat without a pressure cooker, and dozens of other tricks that make daily cooking easier. Everything works offline, so you can follow a recipe in the kitchen even with no signal.
Khana 786 is a recipe companion built around Pakistani home cooking. It collects desi recipes — from everyday daal and sabzi to biryani, kebabs and desserts for special occasions — with clear step-by-step instructions in easy Urdu. Ingredient lists use local measurements and commonly available items, so you will not be hunting for unfamiliar things. Whether you are a beginner learning to cook or an experienced cook looking for new ideas, the app makes every dish approachable.
