Dosa is undoubtedly one of the most popular South Indian dishes. It can be eaten plain or with a variety of fillings, such as potato masala, chutney or sambar. The fermentation process that the dosa batter goes through before cooking gives it its distinct aroma. This savoury Indian crepe is a popular breakfast item in South India and is typically cooked on a tawa. But how would you react if we told you that you could make dosa in a printer?

In a video uploaded by Instagram food blogger @thegreatindianfoodie, we can see a woman pouring ready-made dosa batter in a 'smart' kitchen appliance called 'dosa printer'. She adds some salt and water to the batter and gives it a nice mix. The woman then switches on the appliance and the dosa batter starts rolling on the machine. She also drizzles oil over the dosa while it's being cooked. Once done, the dosa automatically rolls out from the other side, just like an actual printer. "Dosa printing machine.
