Imran Khan's fondness for #BiryaniWithAaloo becomes top trend on Twitter

Looks like Imran Khan ended the longstanding debate between Lahoris and Karachiites about Biryani with or without potatoes.

The former prime minister's recent Twitter space session became an internet sensation right after he casually told how he had been fond of "Biryani with aloos [potatoes]" some "40 years ago" but with age his "taste changed."

The Twitter space session hosted by American comedian Jeremy McLellan saw Khan reminiscing his "favourite delicacy" — Biryani with Aloo — which then became viral.
