KTR Won The Battle Of Biryanis

Uttar Pradesh Based journalist Piyush Rai's tweet became a debatable question after he wrote about UP’s obsession with biryani and how they got ‘only the worst kind’ there. Hours after the tweet, there were a lot of views about the best biryani in the world.

IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao couldn’t resist it and jumped into the debate by saying that ‘all bragging rights on the best biryani in the world belong rightfully to Hyderabad’. He also wrote, "Even UNESCO recognized our gourmet culture recently and conferred the title of ‘creative city of gastronomy’."

The debate raged on and traversed through kitchens in UP to Kolkata to Lucknow and even those in Thalassery on the Malabar Coast in Kerala. Different users jumped into the debate by sharing the photos and videos of how different biryanis are made.

Veteran journalist and food critic Vir Sanghvi also tweeted: “I can eat a Hyderabadi biryani once every two months. An Avadhi biryani once a month. A Calcutta biryani once a week. A Kerala biryani every day.”
