How Much Has Dosa Changed In Bengaluru?
M (@just.tell.m), who specialises in meal planning, ordering and home-cooked food, recently took to social media to give us a hilarious visual of how dosas in Bengaluru have changed over the years. The video begins with him sitting at a dosa stall in the year 1995, where he is served a dosa with a little ghee on top. Forward to 2025, the dosa comes with a whole glass of ghee.
Then in 2035, things get even more dramatic. He is served a dosa inside an entire patila filled with ghee. But by 2050, the evolution has gone completely overboard. He is thrown into a swimming pool filled with ghee, where he eventually finds a dosa.

Half the world doesn’t know that benne is plain white butter… It became like a fashion thing, man… Oh, let’s go out for a benne na, benne podi ghee masala dosa. I have actually seen varieties like garlic, Schezwan and cheese for some bloody ₹300.”
Another netizen added, “Oh, so trying to catch up with Punjabis‘ ghee obsession.”
One Instagram user added, “There’s no such thing as too much ghee.”
