Biryani tops global list of most searched food
Pakistanis and their love for Biryani is no secret. Throughout the country,...
If anyone in Pakistan is being asked about the name of his/her favourite dish, the answer is definitely a biryani, which is cooked and served with great relish in almost every house.
And it would not be wrong to say that the South Asian people love biryani, which is prepared under certain techniques.
But recently, a South Korean website shared a recipe for biryani, but it drew strong criticism from social media users.
Two days ago, a website called Food24 shared a video of cooking biryani. They wrote in the caption, “In celebration of Heritage month we’ve whipped up an easy-to-make, scrumptious biryani that’ll have you coming back for seconds.”
The biryani looked different from the typical biryani, with less rice and more meat and vegetables.
The video shows boneless meat and lentils being added, but the traditional recipe for biryani does not include lentils.
However, Twitterati did not like this recipe of biryani and the video was strongly criticized by them.
A user from Karachi got offended and wrote,” OK this is an insult to Biryani, the Queen of dishes in Northern India and Western Pakistan. My city Karachi is the Biryani capital of the world, so I’m deeply offended. But it’s a pleasant surprise as to how many people from other parts of the world know that it’s Not Biryani.”
Another user wrote,”even me a gori knows that this is not briyani”
A user named Waqas said “It’s not Biryani. Stop playing with our emotions. I have not seen anything more scary.”

This is what happens when companies start hiring people with irrelevant experience or people with no experience.

After receiving the heavy criticism, the website wrote, “We’ve heard you. We got it wrong, and we’re sorry. We will remove the video and would like to make a #BiryaniTogether — to all recipe developers and chefs who would like to work with us on a traditional recipe, please make contact with us and let’s do it #together.”
“This post will remain on Twitter in the interests of discussion and transparency. The original video has been removed from all our other platforms,” they added.
