Chefs in New Delhi cooked up a 13-ton batch of biryani, a traditional Indian rice dish, which boasted 6,600 pounds of rice, 187 pounds of chili peppers, 370 gallons of oil, and 8,045 pounds of vegetables. We feel full just thinking about it. The food was then divided up and dispatched to orphanages around the city.
