Akhni (Bengali: আখনী) is a mixed rice dish with its origins among the Bengali Muslims of Chittagong and Sylhet,^[1] in eastern Bangladesh. It is often considered to be a particular variation of biryani or polao. The dish is especially popular in restaurants throughout Bangladesh,^[2] as well as among the diaspora across the world. The dish is a staple in Chittagong, where it is said to be consumed every week by the average Chittagonian person.^[3] During Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting, the dish is popularly eaten at Iftar meals across Sylhet too.^[4]
