What are you having for lunch today? If you just said "Dal rice", we have something for you. In a now-viral post, Swiggy took to X suggesting this dish must be declared the 'National lunch'. Expressing its love for a humble yet beloved meal, Dal Chawal with Aloo Sabji and onions, the food delivery platform wrote, "Isko national lunch ghoshit kar dena chahiye".

The post mentioned that this comforting dish deserves official recognition.

Take a look at the image

Swiggy shared an image showing a mouthwatering plate of Dal Chawal served with side dishes. It had steaming white rice, generously soaked in a thick, golden dal kissed with mustard seeds and dried red chillies. Beside it sat a heap of cooked potato, speckled with green chillies.

That wasn't all. The comforting homely food plate also had a couple of pink onion halves, making it a meal that countless Indians have grown up relishing.

X post goes viral

As Swiggy suggested this dish must be declared the "National lunch", social media users couldn't agree enough.

Several comments surfaced in agreement. "Dal-chawal-aloo bhujia supremacy," wrote one user, while another reacted by calling it, "My kind of lunch". Bihar-based X pages proudly claimed the dish as their own, with comments like "Yum Yum... Jai ho!"

The post quickly gained traction, racking up 1.7 million views, 7.8K likes, and over 1.2K retweets, showing just how deeply this meal resonates with people across the country.

However, not everyone was convinced. One user quipped, "Orders to tujhe Biryani ke zyada aate hain, tu Dal Chawal ko national lunch ghoshit karne pe tula hai," questioning Swiggy’s sudden endorsement for the simple meal.

Despite the debate, one thing is clear—comfort food always wins. As one user perfectly summed up, "Nothing beats dal-chawal after a long day. Swiggy is absolutely right!"
