The video begins with a cook pouring black dosa batter onto a hot griddle. Initially, the preparation appears similar to that of a regular dosa. The batter is spread evenly into a round shape and left to cook for a short while. After that, a portion of aloo masala is placed in the centre.

The rest of the process remains largely the same as a typical dosa preparation. Once the dosa becomes crisp, it is carefully folded and served. Even though the colour is unusual, the accompaniments stay traditional, with the dosa served alongside sambar and coconut chutney.

The caption attached to the video reads, “Something different in Nagpur! Black Dosa at All about Idli (Yello Cafe) – super crispy, unique look & proper South Indian vibes. Definitely a must-try if you love experimenting with food! Timing 7:30-11:30 am.”

The unusual dish has also triggered mixed reactions online. One user wrote, “South Indian food ko khrab krne vale log. (People are spoiling South Indian food).”

Another commented, “Please don't spoil the original food.”
