Indian Biryani Vs South African Biryani: Who Wins?
The Instagram video begins with Pushpek Sidhu holding two bowls of biryani in his hands - one from India and the other from South Africa. "Indian biryani versus South African biryani - which one is better? Have to find out," he says and starts with the Indian biryani.
He takes a bite and goes on to say, "Wonderful...it is great...heavenly." Gushing over the spice levels and flavours of the dish, he gives it a "nine out of ten (9/10)." Next, he tries the South African version of the dish and states, "I am not going to lie, it is really good...South Africans really know how to season their food."
Wondering what his final verdict is? No points for guessing, the Indian biryani remains the clear winner. "However good this is (South African biryani), it can never beat the Indian biryani. I give South African biryani an eight-and-half out of ten (8.5/10)," he concludes.
