You know, when it comes to culinary experiments, we really should leave it to the experts. Because when we don’t, we end up with some truly bizarre combinations that have no place to exist – at least that’s exactly what Twitterati believes about ‘Strawbiryani’ aka Strawberry Biryani.

Yes, Twitter user Saad shared a photo of a dish he made at home where he combined strawberries with biryani.
We made “Strawbiryani” at home today and I am curious to know what desi Twitter has to say about it. pic.twitter.com/PCZ0Ug38gc

Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe you’re supposed to garnish with coriander not strawberries 🙂 https://t.co/R13xvxTF67

Though there were a few curious takers too:
I must be mad. I’m seriously considering a berry mix in biriyani. Maybe blueberries also. That tartness vs umami goat fat, hmmm…

Yes but the flavors are subtle. The actual Biryani isn’t lost 😁

Looks like elaichi is no longer the most hated ingredient in a biryani!
