An Indian restaurant is hoping to win back customers afraid of eating out during the pandemic with a special "COVID[-19] Curry" and "Mask Naans." 

The fried vegetable balls have been shaped to look like the "crowned" coronavirus, while the accompanying breads look like surgical masks. 

Yash Solanki, owner of the vegetarian Vedic eatery in western Jodphu, said that they had added and advertised that their COVID-19 curry had extra Indian herbs and spices that are good for people's health. 

"Even with recently relaxed curbs, people are still very reluctant to eat out," he said.
