Swiggy Offers Jain Aloo Pyaaz Parantha, Man Asks: ‘Genuinely Curious As To What Will Be Delivered’

A menu on Swiggy has left people on the internet amused and confused after a customer spotted an apparent contradiction in a dish listed on the food delivery platform. A restaurant listed Aloo Pyaaz Ka Parantha in their menu, and offered customisation in their option.

Sharing a screenshot of the menu, the user named Pratik Panda wrote, “Genuinely curious as to what will be delivered if I select this option while ordering from Swiggy.” The screenshot showed Aloo Pyaaz Ka Parantha with customisation options including Jain, Less Spicy, Swaminarayan and More Spicy.

The confusion, however, stems from what the Jain option typically means in food preparation. Jain food is prepared according to the dietary principles followed by the members of the Jain community.

A strict Jain diet is generally vegetarian and avoids root vegetables such as onions, garlic, carrots and similar ingredients, as harvesting them involves uprooting the entire plant and may disturb small organisms in the soil.

Many preparations also avoid common ingredients such as onion and garlic, while stricter versions may also exclude potatoes and other root vegetables. That is precisely why the menu option caught the customer’s attention.

“One Single Chapati,” Internet Reacts
The unusual combination has turned into a light-hearted social media moment, with the people discussing: what exactly would arrive at the doorstep after ordering a Jain Aloo Pyaaz Ka Parantha? Some also shared what is used instead of the usual filling in Jain food.

“Apparently it’s a spectrum. One time while dining out, I had requested jain food, and the waiter asked if jain chicken was suitable,” recounted one user.

“Instead of Aloo they use raw bananas and for the sulphury onion replacement they use cabbage. That’s how you make Jain aloo pyaaz paratha,” mentioned someone.

Another quipped, “The times we are living in, anything will do as long as it is hygienic and unadulterated.”

“One single chapati,” an individual joked.

“Banana will be used instead of aloo and no onion,” someone else shared.

Meanwhile, when a different person asked, “What’s up with Swaminarayan?” An individual said, “Swaminarayan don’t eat onion, lehsun they eat potato but jain don’t eat anything grown inside soil.”
