An Indian media house and Kohinoor Foods Limited on March 1 marked a spectacular entry into the Guinness Book of World Records for creating the World’s Largest Biryani weighing 14,060 kgs. The biryani cooking was flagged off by Delhi’s Chief Minister Sheila Dixit. “I feel this is a great activity explored to revive the feasting and celebration associated with Biryani in India.”

The elaborate vegetable biryani was created under the supervision of 60 executive chefs and a head chef at the outer grounds of the Jawahar Lal Nehru stadium. The activity saw 3,000 kgs of Kohinoor basmati rice, 3,000 kgs of vegetables and 6,000 litres of water being used to prepare the magnificent meal. Moreover, the humongous 16-feet handi used for the cooking of the biryani was set over a three-feet high furnace. Speaking on the occasion was Gurnam Arora, Managing Director, Kohinoor Foods Limited, “We are very proud to be organizing an activity of such scale and magnificence.”

The event was set in a rich and colourful ambience of heritage, festivity and fun with the grounds decorated in traditional Rajasthani theme with folk performances throughout the day. The highlight of the day was the elaborate lunch spread which was a choice of varied rice delicacies. Also displayed were different varieties of rice. The event saw a huge public turnout which added to the cheer and the festivities.
