Restaurants Shift to Coal and Wood Cooking Amid LPG Supply Challenges

Restaurants in Lucknow and Delhi are increasingly relying on coal and wood for cooking amid an LPG supply crisis. Traditional Awadhi dishes in Lucknow's old city continue to use coal-fired furnaces to preserve authentic flavors, while eateries near Delhi's Jama Masjid face challenges due to rising gas prices and shortages. Though cooking with coal and wood requires more time and effort, many food outlets consider it the best alternative to maintain their culinary heritage and continue operations during the crisis.
