As we dive headfirst into February, the culinary world is already abuzz with the latest bizarre food trend of the year: ‘ice cream dosa’. A viral video of the odd combination shows how a person manages to combine the traditional south Indian crepe with the sweet indulgence of the frozen dessert. The clip shared on Instagram begins with the pouring of the dosa batter onto a hot tawa. As the dosa cooks, the person sprinkles what looks like tutti frutti before adding a small tub of ice cream and topping it off with a cherry and a drizzle of chocolate. The juxtaposition of hot and cold, savoury and sweet, adds a layer of complexity to the dish.

One user, visibly angry, wrote, “This guy will be the reason if MasterChef ever exits India.” A second user quoted the viral meme and said, “Moy moy dosa.” And a third asked, “What's wrong with these people?” Recently, another reel depicting the making of chicken tikka cupcakes garnered much attention across online platforms. Not to forget the almost equally odd Maggi ice-cream that revolted many. And if you thought you had seen it all, think again. A food stall in Raipur, Chhattisgarh serves the ‘blue ocean dosa’ which too managed to spark a debate among foodies.
