Do you like to have aloo (potatoes) in your biryani? There is no doubt that biryani is the most famous dish in Pakistan fondly eaten by a large number of people.
There are several difference types and varieties of biryani – chicken, beef, mutton, prawn, vegetarian, etc. which are liked by different types of people.
But there is always one question, “Should there be aloo in biryani?”
This is not like the pineapple in pizza debate but more serious. Many have wrestled to have a chunk of aloo in their biryani, while others have resisted putting aloo inside.
You can clearly people instructing biryani servers whether to place aloo in biryani or not.

This question was also posted in front of former prime minister and PTI chairman Imran Khan.
During a candid conversation in Twitter spaces, the PTI chief was asked if he prefers to have aloo in his biryani.
“I used to eat biryani a lot before but now prefer other foods,” he said. “But at that time I liked biryani with aloo.”
After Imran also weighed in, the remarks ignited a debate on social media once again on putting aloo in biryani
Some said the affirmation by the PTI chief has once and for all settled the matter. They said PEMRA should lift the ban on the former premier so that the comments can be aired.
The discussion has increased and it is currently the top trend on social media in Pakistan.
