Meanwhile, after facing massive trolling & criticism over the viral Video, Chaanni Singh, the owner of the Chandigarh-based food outlet named Chandigarh Dhaba finally broke his silence on the matter & told the truth behind the recipe of diesel Paratha.
Speaking to news agency ANI on Tuesday, Singh clarified that they don’t sell diesel paratha to people & the video posted by the food blogger was only for fun. He said, “It’s a no-brainer that nobody will eat a paratha made using diesel.”
“We obviously don’t prepare or sell it either. In fact, we only cook proper food with edible oils and serve our customers. Our restaurant also provides food for langar to the Sarbat Da Bhala Foundation in Chandigarh and we have no intention of risking people’s lives.” Channi explained further.
Notably, the Dhaba owner also claimed he was completely unaware of the viral video which only came to his knowledge a day ago.
