"From counting calories to counting biryani pots (106 varieties of Biryani)!"🍛✨
Honoured to attend the Asia Book of Records ceremony at NIPS Institute of Hotel Management, Kolkata as the official guest for announcing and awarding the record for ‘Maximum Varieties of Biryani Prepared in a Single Culinary Marathon’.
Spearheaded by an extraordinary team of chefs and culinary students, the event showcased biryani in all its forms - from timeless regional favourites and global adaptations to innovative millet-based and fusion creations. Each pot told a story of teamwork, creativity, and culinary passion.
As I said in my address today: "Behind every pot of biryani stood a passionate chef, a dedicated student, and a shared dream to push the boundaries of culinary artistry."
This wasn’t just a feast for the senses — it was a celebration of unity, discipline, and the boundless love for food.
As a dietitian, I usually talk about balance, portion control, and mindful eating — but today, I’m here to witness the art, culture, and teamwork behind this beloved dish that unites so many palates.
🏆 Congratulations to the entire NIPS team for this record-breaking achievement!
