India, March 20 -- The current LPG shortage, due to the Middle East crisis, is showing its impact on the satvik food during the ongoing Navratri food menu as well. Food joints in Lucknow have tweaked their menu to offer quick-cooked and grilled food items that don't require slow cooking.

Items like paratha, chaat and slow-cooked items have been opted out by many food joints.

"We have skipped items like kutu-paratha, roti and sizzlers as it consumes a lot of fuel. Instead, we have increased our charcoal menu like paneer tikka, paneer hariyali tikka, aloo tikka to our signature menu. In fact, we are preparing kuttu puri too on a charcoal burner," says Chef Nittin from Pack-n-Chew.

Classic Radhey Sweets too have skipped all fasting chaat ...
