Zomato had stated that their ‘calculations’ had proven that the amount of biryani sold on their platform in 2023 could fill eight Qutab Minars, while Swiggy reinstated that they had served nearly 6 million biryani during Ramzan alone! These numbers prove what we already knew - the king of all rice dishes – the beautiful biryani, in all its avatars, had indeed captured the hearts of millions in India.
