Evochef Automatic Dosa Maker - Would You Buy?

If my memory serves correctly there was a brand called “DOSA KING” whose IPO FAILED MISERABLY sometime in 1980s.
THEY HAD carried out street demonstrations in metros including New Delhi but found eventually no market. A spate of complaints about too many mechanical movements resulting in asynchronous function wasting the dough and machine giving of rotting smell etc.

Anyways God bless the crisp-buyers !

 

dosa (doshai as we call) is not a food. It's an emotion.
The task of dosa making goes like this.
1) rinse the iron tawa and put it in the stove
2) once the tawa is hot take half a spoon of oil and put it on the tawa, with a tissue spread the oil.
3) One ladle of dosa batter spread it, pour a spoon of oil along the edges (oil less for me now), half a spoon of ghee (for the lil one) . Once once I see the edges lifting up, flip it over n cook on medium to slow flame.
For people who prefer soft dosas remove from tawa Quickly, for those who prefer muru muru roast (like me) keep for extra one minute.
Enjoy this with chutney, sambhar, dhal powder etc.

So easy isn't it?
Nothing can best the taste of dosa cooked on iron tawa . I have always brought the latest non stick n never used it for dosa after trying one or two dosa.

I wouldn't buy this because dosa making is super easy. Plus the grilled sandwich maker which I purchased from Amway 10 years back was used for less than 10 times so far. I somehow hate cleaning these items . Me and electronic cooking items in the kitchen don't get along well .

 

For me the rectangle dosa is a major turn off. Would never buy it!

 

oh yeah

start with iconic kallu dosai with mollagai pudi. sambar and coconut chutnet

end with pongal vadai sambar with lot of ghee and sambar .

sleep for the whole day

 

To avoid this headache I am using my Vitamix Ok now let me go soak the rice and dal for dosa this weekend
As @Anusha2917 mentioned, Dosa is not Dosa if it’s not made on cast iron tawa!

If the machine does better job in doing dosas than each and every restaurant in Bangalore then I will buy it! If not noooooo!!
Dosa is an emotion for us

 

These stuff can be useful for a hotel but not a home I feel..unless there are too many people living..even then!

Nothing beats anything than the traditional method of making..

Infact cleaning these items are more time consuming,uneeded hoarding and all these inventions are making people lazier than ever lol..

On a side note, someone told me they even make peanut butter sandwiches and freeze it in some stores..I mean how long does it take to make a sandwich?

 

It’s something I wouldn’t consider necessary. I buy dosa and even adai batter from our local Indian store. I still have the trusty iron dosa tava I brought with me on my very first trip to the US. Once I have the system going it takes mere seconds to turn out fresh crisp dosas. And the thought of another gadget on the counter is enough of a deterrent.
