Looking back at 2020, It has been an interesting year, particularly when it came to food and household chores. With the whole world going into a lockdown, most people who have never even fried an egg in their lives had to step into the kitchen to sustain themselves.

However, once restrictions eased and food delivery options stepped in - there was no stopping anyone. And far as India is concerned, our orders seem to be quite set.

And over one lakh orders were placed for gulab jamun over the Diwali week with Mumbai leading from the front.

While some of us were in the kitchen battling over banana bread and Dalgona coffee, some people decided that they were having none of that! One Yash, from Bengaluru, placed 1,380 orders on Zomato this year.

And 414 people also searched for bat soup on Zomato this year, just saying.

Darjeeling beat every other city, including the metros, in the amount spent on every order. The average order value in Darjeeling was almost 500.

One of the biggest heroes this year was definitely the food delivery agents and Zomato users have been kind enough to dole out tips. Mumbai was the most generous of all the cities and gave tips worth 4.6 crores this year, closely followed by Goa where 20 people gave back 2,000 in tips.
