Don’t think it is an unpopular take at all! Ambur Briyani, Vaniyambadi, Dindigul and Chennai style are all great – just that I think we should call them pulaos..since they are all cooked in that manner. They hit all the right notes for those of us who love spice.— Abdaal M Akhtar | ଅବ୍ଦାଲ୍ ଅଖ୍ତର୍ (@abdaal) March 8, 2023
