New Year's Eve meant mammoth orders for food delivery apps. Whether they were hosting house parties or enjoying quiet dinners at home, many turned to Swiggy and Zomato to add extra flavour to their celebrations.
Swiggy fulfilled over 3 lakh biryani orders and delivered 2.5 lakh pizzas. There were thousands of orders for nachos and soda too.
But many others, it seems, chose to eat healthier and simpler on New Year's eve, turning to the comforting "khichdi" (rice and lentils) -- a staple in both sickness and health.

"Let this fact be a gentle reminder that no matter what, some things will always feel like home," they said.

Swiggy rounded up 2022 with a report revealing popular choices. Biryani ruled as the most-ordered for the seventh year. Other top picks were Masala dosa, ravioli and Korean bibimbap.
