December 22, 2021: While the debate over whether Chicken Biriyani is better than Vegetable Biryani (that’s even a thing?) is never-ending, there’s no denying the fact that we all love different versions of biryani. Hence, Swiggy’s sixth annual StatEATstics report stands testimony to every Indian’s love for the dish. The annual data showed that India ordered 115 biryanis per minute, i.e. 2 (1.91) biryanis per second.Also, Chicken Biryani reigned the charts as it was ordered 4.3 times more than her humble vegetarian counterpart. Chicken Biryani topped the charts in Chennai, Kolkata, Lucknow and Hyderabad.

 

Over 4.25 lakh new users made their Swiggy debut by ordering a chicken biryani.

Such is the love for this dish that a person in Kolkata made a Swiggy Genie delivery partner travel 39.3 km from home to bring her favorite Mutton Biryani!

The most binged snack of the year was the samosa with about 5 million orders on Swiggy that’s one samosa for every New Zealander! According to Swiggy’s 2021 report, samosa was ordered 6 times more than chicken wings. Pav Bhaji was India’s second most favourite snack with 2.1 million orders.

However, the order history of the night bingers saw a twist. Post 10 pm, India’s night owls looking to satiate their cravings turned to Cheese-garlic bread, popcorn, and French fries, more than any other snacks.
