While, on one hand, the unprecedented experiment of the nationwide lockdown to combat the COVID-19 outbreak has separated each other by putting inside the residences along with the strict restrictions, on the other hand, it hasn't separated or curbed the love for food as most of us could have started exploring different recipes in our home or started falling in love for yet another time with our favorite food items. 

Indians and Biriyani have always relished a special bond between each other and the back to back lockdown episodes have helped foodies and Biriyani lovers to keep the bond tight amid tight restrictions as the recent report by Indian food delivery platform 'Swiggy' revealed that Biriyani is the most ordered food during the lockdown as Indians are seemingly making the lockdown 'food-worthy' by enjoying their favorite dish. 

Swiggy's study titled 'StatEATistics report: The Quarantine Edition' has revealed that Indians ordered Biriyani for over 5.5 lakh times from their favorite restaurants as Biriyani has become the most ordered food in India during the lockdown. 

It ain't the first time for Biriyani to dominant the Indian dishes as Swiggy has also stated that Biriyani has topped the list of the most ordered dishes for the fourth year in a row. 

This lockdown, Indians have proved it that no lockdown can take away their love for Biriyani. The study further stated that Butter Naan is in second place in the list of most ordered foods with receiving 3,35,185 orders so far during the lockdown followed by Masala Dosa with 3,31,423 orders. 

Along with these three dishes, Swiggy's report highlights that, on average, 65,000 meal orders were placed by 8 pm each day for dinner. Indians had also filled their mouths with their favorites desserts as the report shows that Choco Lava cake is the most ordered desserts during the lockdown. It has been ordered for 1,29,000 times while Gulab Jamun was ordered for 84,558 times and Butterscotch Mousse cake was ordered for 27,317 times. 

Swiggy has also delivered about 1,20,000 birthday cakes across the country during the lockdown as the new normal of virtual human engagements had helped birthday celebrations. For those who preferred or relied on homemade cooking and food, the food platform has delivered 323 million kilograms of onions and 56 million kilograms of bananas through its grocery - which are the unprecedented numbers of delivery.
