Matcha Dosa Trend Leaves Internet in Laughter and Shock
The matcha dosa viral video is making waves online, and not just for its bright green colour. A food lover’s hilarious reaction to this unusual dish has left social media users in splits and raised a few health-related eyebrows too.
For context, matcha is a finely powdered green tea made from shade-grown leaves. It’s popular for its antioxidant benefits, gentle caffeine boost, and potential to improve metabolism and focus. However, when this wellness ingredient met the beloved South Indian dosa, reactions were… not exactly zen.
“This Green Powder Is Torturing Us” — The Internet Reacts
In his comic response, the content creator exclaims,
“Hello, police! This green powder is torturing us!”
He humorously pleads for people to stop putting matcha in classic Indian foods, adding,
“You want to drink grass, fine. But please, not on my dosa, biryani, or vada pav!”
He continues to joke about the absurdity of matcha in everyday dishes from momo and Maggi to curd rice and even sweets like gulab jamun and jalebi. The clip ends with him mock-begging,
“Please, leave my dosa alone. Go to Japan and do whatever you want with that grass!”
This light-hearted reaction struck a chord with foodies worldwide. Comments poured in, with users saying things like, “Love matcha, but not in dosa, please!” and “We should make this illegal!”
How the “Matcha Dosa” Was Made
In the viral clip originally shared by Dosa Shack, a food truck in Austin, Texas, the cook prepares the unique creation by mixing organic matcha powder directly into dosa batter. The batter is then spread on a griddle, topped with another dusting of matcha, stuffed with spiced potato filling, and served traditionally with chutneys.
A cheerful narration introduces it as “the world’s first matcha dosa made with organic matcha straight from Japan.” It’s described as “Instagram-worthy” and “fun,” but soon after, another creator reshared the video with a dramatically different take that turned the internet green with laughter.
Should You Be Mixing Matcha With Dosa?
While the matcha dosa viral video is funny, it also brings up an interesting nutrition question: Does this fusion make sense from a health point of view?
According to nutritionists, matcha contains antioxidants known as catechins, which may help reduce inflammation and support heart health. However, combining it with a fermented food like dosa may not enhance its benefits. Heat exposure during cooking could also destroy some of matcha’s key compounds, making it less effective.
In short, though the idea might look vibrant and Instagram-friendly, the nutritional synergy between dosa and matcha is questionable.
Fusion Food or Confusion Food?
Matcha-infused dishes have already appeared in desserts, smoothies, and even noodles, but this green twist on dosa may have pushed culinary creativity a bit too far for traditional food lovers.
As one commenter perfectly summed it up:
“Even Japanese people wouldn’t think of doing this to Indian food.”
Conclusion
The matcha dosa viral video has certainly added humour and debate to the online food community. While matcha remains a healthy addition to beverages and desserts, it might be best to leave masala dosa in its classic, golden-brown glory.
After all, not every health trend needs to turn into a recipe experiment!
