Biryani new generation fast food.

 

Recently there have been increased sales of Biryani across the country. It has set a record for the highest orders across the country. Every road has a Biryani center including mobile vans and push carts. Biryani is available for even as low as ₹40.

Why is this trend where everyone is obsessed with Biryani. 

 

Many South Indians know about Upma and Curd rice. If you are older generation and like upma you will have a pattern how you eat upma. That upma tastes good with pickle and sometimes curd and is eaten with hand. The reason it tastes good is because you know how to ratio your upma with pickle and curd to get your best taste. There is an art in mixing and kneading to get your taste bud relishing it. This you can't achieve using a spoon to eat.

 

Many curd rice aficionados have their own style with pickle, onion and sometimes adding little sambar. 

 

While eating with hands, here also there is an art in getting the right consistency of curd rice and mixing it right and taking an hand full while taking the right amount of pickle gravy and using the onion needed at the right time. While you finish your curd rice, there is an amount fluidic left over which is finger licking good.  

 

Though licking the plate dry may look ugly to others, it is a kind of heavenly taste for the curd rice fanatics. 

 

The same way if you are eating white rice and sambar adding ghee, pickle along with palya (sabji). Here also you get your consistency right and take the additional according to your taste which can be achieved only by hand. That art what your hands (fingers) can do cannot be replaced by spoons.

Same applies to many foods we eat where a supporting food is needed to complete. 

Many foods we eat need supportive food. Roti with gravy and rice with sambar. All these are eaten with hands with right mix of supportive foods and accessory taste makers ( pickle, ghee and all )

 

Recently many have lost that touch either they have less patience or they are in a hurry and moved on to spoons and fork. Recent generation have never picked up this taste at all with fast foods and the way they eat.

Recently I saw my daughter’s plate after the crud rice and there were still so many grains of rice with left over curd. I asked her to finish it; all she did was pick few more grains of rice. Older ones would have licked the plate to dry. 

This is what is happening with everyone who lost the art of eating food taking their own time. Everyone is in a hurry and with shorter attention span.

 

So they have found a solution in all in one in Biryani. You have got flavored rice, some vegetables and meat this combination is serving all the purpose which is easy to eat and faster way.

 You are done.

Finally Biryani has become readymade taste for you without much fuss.

And it has become the new generation fast

food.
