Those who have surplus money a d love novelty would go for this machine. When after few times when they find it is not to their expectation in terms of taste , attention span required, they throw it at their backyard. A particular brand wet dough for making dosa or idli was tasting differently only as dosa consumed the moment it is removed from thava. It made stony idli. From the posts of participants here, I find all of them are connoisseur of Dosa. The machine may pose more problems when it comes to making onion dosa or fava dosa. Making Oothapappa with onion strewn around in this machine pose problems. Any Dosa powder supplied with the machine ?
honestly 2 cent in this machine. totally agree with @Rihana. Space. as i and dh grow old, we are getting tired of cleaning dishes all the time. adding more complexity on cleaning. not sure i can handle at home. i got the cast iron here. works like charm. just use the waste onion cut top , keep in fridge. before making dosa. little oil and onion spread. it is almost non stick. my trusty grinder bought here works well. very easy to clean too.
I feel an automatic idli maker is much more valuable. Soft idlies are harder to make compared to dosai. Idli also has a longer shelf life. I can see anytime I have people or cook and take to a gathering, get this to make 25 to 100 or even 200 idlies. Dosa has to be consumed hot, so batch processing is not very useful. I appreciate the thought and effort behind. Waiting for the idli maker though.
Isn't it easier to clean the tawa and ladle than dismantling the parts cleaning it and putting it back ? Many of my friends have their food processor gathering dust inside their cupboard once their grating and chopping fantasies were satisfied after making the carrot and beetroot halwas for the potlucks ! The only gadgets people most frequently use is the loving IP. All other gadgets gather dust after the initial attraction wanes off
I wouldn't blame the food processor for it. I use it at least every other time I have to cut/chop/grate vegetables, which is at least 5 to 10 times a week. It is a life saver.
I do not want to crowd up my kitchen counter. Furthermore, each time I prepare different texture like one uttappam, one paper roast and one medium roast. I prefer more variety like onion uttappam, podi dosa and tomato uttappam. Dosa maker will do that??? Cleaning is also an headache. Further shape also matters, circle shape is the favorite rather than a cone shape or a rectangle one.
Nope I wont buy this gadget. I already have a dosa maker at home - my hubby, he is the dosa master of our house. He makes restaurant style paper roasts at home . Thats reason 1. 2. no counter space 3. cleaning hassle 4. Rectangle shape - why is it even called dosa?
Asking 10 people who regularly make dosas, “How will you use a dosa making machine designed like this” - would have cleared the misconception that this machine was even required in the first place.
Ha ha.. In my house it's my dad .. Mom's friend used to call him dose mama.. Dosa is one dish I feel men can handle without making much mistakes. Just keep the batter ready for them then go out with your girl friends. Instruct them to make dosa for themselves. They won't keep calling you and disturb
