Everybody just can’t get enough of biryani. We all know that absolutely no one has ever expressed even the slightest dislike for this dish. It’s simply impossible not to love it, and a recent tweet by food delivery app Swiggy is a testament of biryani’s widespread popularity. During the IPL 2023 final between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans, which was rescheduled to the reserve day for the first time in the tournament’s 16-year history, Swiggy announced that biryani was the top choice among cricket enthusiasts. In a tweet on Monday, Swiggy revealed that an astonishing 12 million orders for biryani were made through their app, equivalent to 212 biryanis per minute.

The company said on Twitter, “Biryani wins the trophy for the most ordered food item this season with over 12 million orders at 212 BPM (biryanis per minute).”
