Indian street food is famous for its taste, spice, and variety, but apart from this, the food is also famous for other things, which are unhygienic ness, an unhealthy cooking style, and sometimes unexpected guests in the food. And the recent viral video is a heartbreak for the lovers of Chhole Bhature, which is the favourite breakfast for the Delhiites. 

In this viral video, the customer finds a dead lizard in a bhatura in Delhi. And the customer was fumed with this and was calling the owner of the stall and shouting. Later in the video, the lady took one plate of chhole bhature to her residence, found the dead lizard, and brought the plate back.

The customer also asked about the location in which he put his stall. In reply, the man said, On Monday, Bazar Sector 15, on Tuesday, Jahangirpuri, on Wednesday, Avantika, on Thursday, the stall is placed on Sector 13, on Friday, it's on Sector 16, on Saturday, the shop is in Sector 7, and Sunday is off day.

The viral video was posted on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter) by the user Ghar ke kalesh, who is popular for posting kalesh (fight) videos. The caption of the video reads, “Kalesh over a Customer found De@d Lizard in chole bhature while Eating in Delhi.” 

This is not the first time something like this has happened; in June last year, the same incident took place in Chandigarh when a customer found a live lizard in his Chhole Bhature plate.
