The food-delivery major released the 9th edition of ‘How India Swiggy’d’ and per the findings, Biryani remained the most-ordered dish, with 83 million orders placed this year, which means 158 orders per minute or roughly 2 biryanis every second. Biryani marked its ninth consecutive year at the top. This was followed by Dosa which stood out with 23 million orders, cementing its position as a culinary favourite. In Shillong, Noodles stayed in the spotlight as the city placed the most orders for this dish in 2024.
