Delhi's Food safety department has called in a raid at the famous Kake Da Hotel after a Twitter video, showing its staff kneading dough with feet, went viral.
You don't have to be a hygiene freak to get a little repulsed by this video.
Uploaded on Twitter, this video shows a glimpse of what goes on in a makeshift kitchen on the roof of Connaught Placei's famous eatery, Kake Da Hotel.
First, you see a man standing in a bowl. Then, he starts to move his legs, like he is mixing something. While it is not spelled out for you, it kind of becomes clear eventually that he is kneading a dough in the bowl...with his feet.
The camera then quickly pans to Kake Da Hotel's banner overhead.
So how many of you have heard about the great food at Kake - Da - Hotel? pic.twitter.com/lB9cLHA1W8

SO WHAT?
It is not a secret that many eateries have their staff knead dough with their feet, since it is so much in amount. Even packaged breads are believed to be made this way, which is why they are said to be called 'pao'.
Also, a user in the comment thread writes that kneading with feet is a common practice in Delhi's famous paranthewale gali as well.
@ikaveri Happens at parathewale gali too, from what I've heard.

BUT DOES THAT MAKE IT OKAY?
No and yes.
No, because those are the same feet that take you to the toilet, mister.
And yes, because some people like to believe that the staff in-charge of kneading the dough wash their feet with Dettol before stepping into the bowl.
@ikaveri hope he had sanitised his legs �
