In India, biryani is a beloved culinary tradition, often referred to as an emotion. However, when creators take liberties with the recipe, biryani enthusiasts are quick to react. A recent example is a Mumbai baker’s “Parle-G Biryani” recipe, which garnishes the dish with Parle-G biscuits. The video, with over 3 million views, has sparked widespread criticism, with many calling it a “traumatizing” take on the beloved dish. Reactions ranged from disbelief and humor to drama, with some labeling it a “heart attack for biryani lovers.” The baker, known for her previous viral “pink biryani” recipe, has faced backlash for using artificial colors and flavors. The online community is divided, with some seeing the creativity as innovative and others deeming it a sacrilege. The debate highlights the strong emotions attached to traditional recipes and the community’s willingness to “pull hair” when it comes to altering well-loved dishes.
