Kneading dough or washing clothes?

New Delhi - The man who posted the video on Twitter got the video on WhatsApp and didn't shoot it himself.

A video of unknown origin showing a man using his feet to 'knead' the contents of a bowl has received diverse reactions. One interpretation of the video that has caused disgust and alarm among viewers is that the man is an employee of Delhi's Kake-da-Hotel, according to the Indian Express. He is thought to be kneading dough with his feet. The lack of hygiene has caused outrage among viewers who are already worried about low hygiene standards at restaurants. The restaurant's cashier Shambhu Singh Rawat has questioned the credibility of the video. He said that the man in the video is washing clothes in a bowl that is strictly meant for the purpose.
Some viewers have pointed out that kneading dough using the feet is a common practice at several restaurants in India. They said that some restaurants in Delhi's Parathewali Gali serve breads made from dough kneaded using the feet.
It is unclear from the video what exactly is in the bowl. The woman who posted the video on Twitter got the video on WhatsApp and didn't shoot it herself.
Unless there are open kitchens, it is difficult to know exactly what goes on in the kitchens. But diners and those ordering takeaway food in India see enough to make them worry. It is common to see restaurant employees sneeze while cooking or packing food. It is worrying to see the proprietors and cashiers not insisting that the employees maintain hygiene standards even at big chains.
Another worrying factor is the temperature in kitchens. Even when you cook at home, after a while it gets hot and you begin to sweat. Restaurant employees are often in hot kitchens all day long. This is a potential source of contamination.

So how many of you have heard about the great food at Kake - Da - Hotel? pic.twitter.com/lB9cLHA1W8
