Biryani has topped the list of most ordered dishes for the fourth year in a row

The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown saw many people turning chefs overnight, but those who could not turn to online delivery of food. And not just any food, as per a new report, Indians “craved the most for Biryani” during the lockdown. The “StatEATistics report: The Quarantine Edition” from food delivery platform Swiggy found that Indians ordered biryani over “5.5 lakh times” from their favourite restaurants.

The new normal might have opened a pandora’s box of behavioural changes, but some old habits die hard like the love for Biryani, which took the top spot for overall orders. It was followed by butter naan and masala dosa at 3,35,185 and 3,31,423, respectively. Biryani has topped the list of most ordered dishes for the fourth year in a row, the food delivery platform noted.
