2. Gauri Khan’s restaurant reacts after allegations of serving fake paneer
YouTuber Sarthak Sachdeva recently took to Instagram and dropped a video where he is seen visiting a few restaurants owned by stars to check if they serve real paneer or not. He also visited Gauri Khan’s restaurant Torii and checked the paneer served to him by performing an iodine tincture test on it. The paneer turned blue-black, indicating that starch was present on it. The YouTuber then said that as the paneer changes its color, it’s fake.
Reacting to this, the restaurant issued clarification and wrote, “The iodine test reflects the presence of starch, not the authenticity of the paneer. As the dish contains soy-based ingredients, this reaction is expected. We stand by the purity of our paneer and the integrity of our ingredients at Torii.”
