Iran-Israel War Threatens Bengaluru's Masala Dosa Supply Amid LPG Shortage

• Bengaluru's iconic Vidyarthi Bhavan faces a severe commercial LPG shortage, impacting its famous Masala Dosa production.
• The supply disruption, linked to the Israel-Iran conflict, began around March 9, with deliveries dropping to 20% of usual.
• High-flame dishes like dosas require significant gas, with large restaurants needing up to 12 cylinders daily.
• Vidyarthi Bhavan, selling up to 3,000 dosas on weekends, is severely affected by the constrained LPG supply.
• India's LPG imports from West Asia are disrupted by the conflict, leading to prioritization for essential sectors.
• Restaurants are considering menu changes, shifting to dishes requiring less gas or electric preparation.
