A Twitter user put out a ‘hot take’ involving biryani and this could only mean one thing: war. The OP, a journalist, shared a photo of a plate of biryani and spoke about how he prefers Tamil Nadu’s Dindigul biryani (that he bought from a Chennai restaurant) over the versions of the dish available in Kolkata and Lucknow and predictably, Twitter went up in flames.
“Unpopular hot take on biryani (NOTE: HYD biryani is still my FAV): #Chennai ‘s Dindigul biryani is absolutely amazing. Loved it, and Imho it’s better than Lucknow and Calcutta biryani. Very flavourful. This [is] from Erode [Amman] mess. Don’t come at me with ‘no layers’ argument ,” the Twitter user wrote.
A fierce debate has erupted, with many lambasting his tastes and others siding with him.

One of the Irani Cafe owners told me that much before basmati was used they were using something else. Back when biryani was authentic in these places— Yunus Lasania (@YunusLasania) March 8, 2023
Lucknow biryani basically is meat pulao. Very very similar to Central Asian pulaoHistorically also it's pulao that was famous in Lucknow.

Biryani ke naam par bhaat kha liye bhai tum.— Aakash K. (@JFirozabadi) March 8, 2023
There were also takers for Dindigul biryani. “The thing about Dindigul biriyani is that you can have it for every meal. The flavour of the seeraga samba rice with the meat, IMHO beats other contenders in this segment. I was so obsessed with this biriyani in the lockdown to cook it every other day!” One Twitter user wrote.
