Briyani is undoubtedly the ultimate comfort food of India. So much so that 2.5 biryanis were ordered per second on Swiggy in 2023. Such is the love for this yummilicious meal. Wondering, why are we talking about biryani today? We have come across a video that has given a classic twist to this dish. Presenting, blue-coloured ghee rice. Oh yes, you read that right. Shared by a popular food vlogger on Instagram, the video captures the meticulous preparation of butterfly ghee rice. First, she is seen washing butterfly pea flowers and then separates the petals. Then, she soaks 1 cup of rice for a few minutes. Next, she boils water in a pot and adds the petals to it.
Next, in a separate vessel, she heats some ghee and incorporates spices, bay leaf, cashews, raisins, chopped onions and sliced green chilies. A few second later, she adds the cooked blue rice to the pot. Finally, she serves the butterfly pea rice with a side of raita.

Since being shared, the video has garnered an impressive 13.3 million views online.
A user said “God I would never eat that.”
Another added, “I just lost my appetite looking at that bright blue colour rice eh.”
“It feels like a crime to eat this rice” was the sentiment online.
Some even humorously compared the dish to the blockbuster hit Avatar.
In the middle of this, a user found the video delightful. He said, “This video made my day and everything is just perfect including those pots, her blue bangles, her mehndi, song everything is just perfect.”
A person came up with a suggestion. “If you add lemon juice to this blue water it will turn purple and look so beautiful. It’s pretty experimental food.”
Highlighting the benefits of the flower, a user said, “This is also called Shankapushp, roots are very good for the brain. Never tried flowers though.”
