What comes to your mind when you hear Biryani? Well, you sure crave for it. As a non-veg lover, Biryani is not just food, it is an emotion. And with this very emotion, we are proud to have made it the most ordered food in the year 2017! Oh yes, according to Swiggy India 'Stateatstics 2017', Chicken Biryani was the most ordered dish. They analysed the food ordering pattern.

Although Pizza happened to be the most searched item, Chicken Biryani surpassed in orders. This survey was carried in major cities- Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. All these cities have different food cultures and each has their own specialty. But a distinct unity was experienced in ordering chicken biryani! And that makes us happy to know.

Biryani was followed by masala dosa and paneer butter masala. other than that it was dal makhani which was most ordered on the list. The research also analysed breakfast items and idli was the top pick. That too doesn’t surprise us given that idli and wada make for such a yummy and fulfilling breakfast. For evening snacks it is pav bhaji and samosas that topped the list. Both these street foods are extremely popular though the preparations differ from state to state.

Chicken Biryani topped the choice across the country but state-wise the results were different. For Delhi, it was dal makhani with naan. Hyderabad’s biryani is famous all over so it stuck to the staple. Mumbaikars indulged more in Pav bhaji and vada pav. Interestingly vada pav was also most ordered in Bangalore.

The study brings an interesting detail out of the growing likeliness of salads and bowl meals among the people. Fruit bowls, healthy salad bowls, diet special food bowls also saw a growth in order. Well, a meal which combines healthy stuff and tastes good will always be a more preferred option.

But ultimately it is our Chicken Biryani at the end of the day which has satiated people across the country. Biryani for life!
