One A4 size dosa, please!

Taking 'paper-thin' dosas quite literally

The 'Dosa Printer' seems to have taken people's desire of savoring "paper-thin" dosas quite seriously. Launched by a Chennai-based startup named Evochef, this appliance "prints" dosas as thin as A4 size sheets at the press of a button. Offering crispy dosas in less than a minute is the machine's USP. It's priced at Rs. 15,999 and is available in four different colors.

Internet is a funny place

Twitter indulges in a meme fest

The video soon became a topic of discussion (and hilarity) for several Twitter users. While some lauded the innovative concept, others found it difficult to believe its existence. "What if the batter gets jammed and then you have to print a test idli?", questioned a Twitter user. "Finally a printer that works even when it is out of Cyan," said another.

Not all things went down funny

While many found 'Dosa Printer' funny and "the worst idea", there were others who found it incredibly thoughtful. "Stop criticism right there. I live alone and always bank on outside dosa because I don't know how to make it and even if I learn I may not have time to make it. This is great", tweets a user.
