Few one-dish meals are as dazzling as a sublime biryani. And these days in India, it’s difficult not to find oneself in the general vicinity of a great biryani.
In fact, India’s love for biryani has grown so passionate that the dish was the country’s most ordered dish for the 6th year in a row, according to Swiggy’s sixth StatEATstics report. The same report mentions India ordered over 60 million biryanis via Swiggy this year!
The numbers don’t lie – love for biryani is a shared emotion across India, one that stands testimony to its ability to travel to different parts of the country, and evolve into a novel regional variant.
