Matcha suddenly seems to be everywhere. This powdered green tea has taken over our social media feeds. Although matcha drinks have been around for some time, people nowadays are using matcha in everything, from marinades to desserts. Such non-traditional uses of this “trending” ingredient have sparked many foodie debates. Recently, we came across yet another matcha fusion dish that has gone viral on Instagram. This one especially caught our attention because it involves a popular Indian rice preparation.
We are talking about biryani, of course. Culinary artist Heena Kausar Raad recently posted a video of a dish she calls “matcha biryani.” She is seen standing in front of a large vessel filled with portions of green-coloured rice. As you may know, many matcha products and creations have this bright green colour. Take a look at the viral reel below:
