not a JAIN food, I inquired to him that how was that possible as it's only made of MAIDA. What he clarified with his professional ethics was just shocking, here are the details:
1) NAN KULCHA & RUMALI ROTI CANNOT BE MADE WITHOUT EGG in it. It is absolutely impossible for any one to make them without egg in a hotel. It will not be that soft and elastic through out the day and shall start to crack in some time,
2) He also clarified that as been registered a Vegetarian Hotel he can't bring in eggs so the get the Atta made in ready form from local bakeries who prepare it for them and supply to all restaurants.
3) He also said that even thought all restaurants owners shall deny this but it is a fact and that others do not say it so as to not loose business. In fact they turn s blind eye on what the bakery wala adds to the atta mixture.
4) He also stated that he been experience for soo many years in as a restaurant manager in many hotels does not know any single outlet that could give you VEGETARIAN NAN, KULCHA or RUMALI ROTI.
5) He also stated that he now clarifies it to all his clients, as he feels that it is against his ethics to not provide details to the customer.
6) Only Plain Roti is the only item that a normal Vegeterian or a Jain can consume in a hotel.
All this stated above is 100% true. This information is not just for Jains but for all those who are truly Vegetarian.
