since i've been doing this all day, here according to my research are the distinct types of biryani variations you get in karachi.

* Delhi/UP
* Hyderabadi
* Gujrati
* Sindhi

Individual shops ofc will have their own variants/mixes, but the above all...
...have distinctions based on ingredients used/style of dum. As far as I can tell, there isn't any unified Karachi version. there are also "baloch" (Lyari) and "pashtun" (Orangi) variants I've come across but seem to be cooked like pulao.
should definitely add that in the absence of documentations and the like, these variations are based on my readings of the communities making them or looking up recipes out of their indian origins etc, not exact labels.
This is smth I've heard multiple times. Have been told there's a chef who worked at the museum in Karachi who can help explain the history but sadly haven't been able to track him down yet. https://twitter.com/btirmizi/status/1334806102022762501?s=19
