Another wrote, “Most of them need cooking. Example: curd rice — the rice needs to be cooked first. The curry leaves, mustard, red chillies etc need to be heated in oil.”
The discussion comes as LPG shortages reported in several parts of the country have affected multiple sectors including restaurants, IT companies, schools, paying guest accommodations and hotels.
LPG shortages are being reported across major cities including Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kolkata.
Restaurant associations have said that the supply of commercial LPG cylinders has either stopped or become irregular over the past several days.
