Only Hyderabad has bragging rights on best biryani

Hyderabad: The statement made by Amitabh Kant, the CEO of Niti Aayog, on social media on Thalassery fish biryani being the best has triggered a storm starting with Telangana IT, Industries and MA&UD Minister KT Rama Rao quick to shoot reply: "All bragging rights on best biryani in the world belong rightfully to Hyderabad Amitabh Ji. Dare I say that the rest are only poor imitations."

Responding to his statement, many netizens took the platform of social media to express their opinion.

Sunil Kumar @Susheel135 said," Hyderabadi biryani is the best and most authentic biryani in the world."

Obaid Ahmed @obaid42 remarked, "A Biryani which is not Hyderabadi is not Biryani."

Peddi Chow Reddy @ChowPeddi forcefully reacted, "Hyderabadi Biryani doesn't require any certificate. It is by itself a certificate for Hyderabad. My first time tasting of Hyderabadi Biryani of Paradise was in the year 2000. I was wondering how I could finish one Jumbo pack single-handed. The taste drives me into Paradise."

Vijay The Air Warrior @VijayVGHM responded: " Your so right sir. Nothing beats Hyderabadi Biryani. Its a cuisine of art, a Royal dish, a delight for eyes, an erotic smell, a blessed feeling for the tastebuds, a satisfaction for the stomach."

Thalassery fish biryani is prepared using short-grained local rice with white aikora or kingfish also known as king mackerel in Thalassery ( Kerala).
