Smokin’ success: Why some Pune eateries are no longer complaining about LPG shortage

What Happened

Pune eateries are switching from LPG to coal fires due to gas shortages and rising costs. The shift has unexpectedly improved food quality, particularly misal pav's flavour profile. A commercial gas cylinder costs Rs 2,091 and lasts two days, while 15-20 kg daily coal costs under Rs 800. Customers praise the wood-fired aroma and smoky depth, turning financial necessity into culinary advantage.
