This Spider-Man Special Biryani With Edible Webs Gets A Thumbs Down From Foodies

Social media influencers, chefs often do experiments with food. From customised cakes to fusion dishes, people never shy away from trying out something unique. In yet another viral video, a Mumbai based baker, decided to infuse Spider-Man vibes into the comfort food – biryani. The clip begins with a massive container filled with bright blue biryani, decorated with white web-like strings on top. As the video progresses, Heena Kausar Raad scoops out these webs using a spoon, explaining they were entirely edible. Later, the woman revealed that the blue colour was achieved using butterfly pea flowers, and no artificial colour was used in preparation.

As soon as the clip was dropped, people were quick to share their views. The video has mustered more than 9 million views, so far. However, foodies have had mixed reactions in the comments section and were not impressed by this experiment.

A user commented, “This much colour is not right for health.” Expressing dissatisfaction, another user asserted, “Sister could u pls stop these kinds of contents.” An account remarked, “You made me hate biryani didi.” An Instagram user wrote, “It’s high time to maintain your standards.” A food enthusiast mentioned, “Let biryani be biryani.”

This is not the first time, when Heena had shared any fusion dish. Earlier, she stirred online debate by incorporating a unique twist into the popular Barbie theme trend. The Barbie theme, which gained widespread popularity in 2023, has inspired people worldwide to incorporate pink into various aspects of their lives, including fashion and food. However, Heena’s attempt to embrace this trend took an unconventional turn when she organised a Barbie-themed party featuring pink biryani. The party, dedicated to all things Barbie, showed a range of Barbie-themed delicacies.

In spite of the effort put into creating a unique Barbie-themed experience, Heena faced significant backlash online for her pink biryani. The videos went viral, attracting criticism from the online users worldwide. Many people expressed disappointment at the alteration of the traditional biryani and believed that the use of pink dye had compromised the dish’s authentic flavour.
