In a peculiar culinary experiment, a street food vendor has introduced the Gulab Jamun Dosa, leaving dosa enthusiasts perplexed. The viral video, shared on Instagram by ‘Foodpandits,’ showcases the vendor preparing the bizarre dish by placing a Gulab Jamun in the center of a Dosa batter before frying it.
Since its upload on Tuesday, the video has garnered over 59,202 likes on Instagram. Netizens have expressed a range of reactions to the unconventional recipe, with some likening it to the French dish Crepe. Despite the mixed responses, the video has also received a positive reception from several individuals who have dubbed it ‘Desi French Crepp.’ However, others have vehemently opposed the fusion, expressing their disapproval at the combination of Gulab Jamun and Dosa.
The video was shared with the caption ‘Atrangi Gulabjamun Dosa,’ eliciting numerous comments. The street vendor preparing the dish expressed confidence in the positive response to his innovation. He also indicated that he is prepared to experiment with other sweet dishes, such as barfi, in combination with Dosa based on public feedback.
As the food blogger recording the video continued to express astonishment at the recipe, the street vendor remained upbeat, claiming that customers often request a second ‘Gulab Jamun Dosa’ after their first. The Instagram post has garnered numerous reactions from social media users.
One user commented, ‘We Odia traditionally eat this on every religious occasion. Dosa is similar to Peeta, which is made from rice batter, and we eat sweets along with it. So I think it is similar and will taste good.’ Another user, sourobhadas.007, expressed a positive opinion: ‘As much as I hate these inventions, I think this will taste like a sweet crepe. This should taste good.’
However, not all reactions were favorable. Mr_tejesh_ commented, ‘South India galti se bhi mat ana’ (Don’t come to South India by mistake), while another user exclaimed, ‘Zeher dede bhai thorasa’ (Give me poison, just a little bit).
Despite the diverse reactions, the street vendor remains optimistic and intends to continue experimenting with unusual Dosa variations in the future.
