The strict action taken by FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe regarding food safety in Maharashtra is being appreciated everywhere. He has shut down many restaurants and canceled their licenses while cracking down on adulterators and those who violate safety standards.
The effect of this strict action is clearly visible on the general public as well as the celebrities, due to which actress and writer Twinkle Khanna along with her mother Dimple Kapadia have given up eating paneer in restaurants outside and have started making paneer at home. This mother-daughter duo is now scared of eating outside cheese.
Twinkle Khanna remembered her childhood days
Twinkle Khanna has recently expressed her views on this entire issue in a humorous manner in her column written for a newspaper. Starting his column with childhood memories and cotton candy, he wrote that the bright pink candy found in fairs has now disappeared. According to him, this bright color has disappeared from cotton candy only because of the swift raids conducted by Maharashtra FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, who has raided more than three thousand places across the state.
After the news of fake paneer scams and adulteration came to light, Twinkle Khanna and her mother Dimple have decided to prepare paneer at home. In the column, he has also mentioned a light-hearted argument he had with his mother over making cheese. Twinkle says that her mother produces 250 grams of paneer from one liter of milk, whereas she gets only 180 grams of paneer from the same amount of milk. There is a debate between the two regarding this issue as to whose cheese is more delicious and better.
Twinkle taunted in a funny way
Twinkle further quipped that she is afraid that in future her mother might start asking whose cheese is whiter, in response to which she comes up with a joke of adding detergent to her cheese. However, explaining the seriousness of adulteration, he also mentioned a recent incident in Nalanda, Bihar, where some students fell ill after accidentally using detergent instead of salt. This incident, in a light manner, highlights the growing concerns about food adulteration.
Asks these questions as soon as she goes to a restaurant
Sharing her experience at a restaurant with her friends, Twinkle writes that before placing the order, she confirmed with the waiter whether the FDA Commissioner had inspected her restaurant or not. When the waiter said yes and informed that he had passed the test, he heaved a sigh of relief and ordered Paneer Tikka.
