Instagram Video Shows Curry Cooked With Immersion Rod During LPG Shortage

The clip reflects a cooking-gas shortfall tied to shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz.

Overview

  • The video was posted by project manager Himank Vasudeva on Instagram with the caption “Technologia.”
  • On-screen text reads “Gas gone, heat rod on,” as the immersion rod’s coils are shown boiling the curry inside the pot.
  • Reactions range from praise for ingenuity to concern, with one popular quip reading, “Minto ka kaam ghanto mai.”
  • Commenters warn immersion rods are meant for heating water, not food, citing contamination risks, residue buildup and possible electrical hazards.
  • Coverage connects the hack to a nationwide LPG shortfall linked to Strait of Hormuz disruptions, with reports of delayed cylinder deliveries and some small eateries pausing service; Hindustan Times says it has requested comment from the poster.
