Social media reacts with anger and sarcasm
The video drew massive reactions online. Many users expressed anger, while others reacted with sarcasm and disbelief.
Some comments pointed out that such practices may be common behind closed doors, even in well-known eateries. Others tagged food safety authorities and demanded action. Several users said they were “not surprised,” while others asked how consumers could trust what they eat.
The outrage highlights growing public concern over how food is prepared in unregulated spaces.
Phini, also known as Pheni or Sutarfeni, is a traditional sweet from Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is made using very fine strands of dough that are deep-fried in ghee and served with sugar syrup or sweetened milk.
Because the sweet involves direct handling of dough, clean preparation is essential to prevent contamination and health risks.
