In a world where social media thrives on innovation, Instagram user Shweta Malviya decided to give the humble South Indian dosa a colourful makeover — but not everyone was thrilled.
In a reel that’s now going viral with over 515,000 likes, Shweta is seen in her kitchen about to make a regular dosa. However, just as the first spoonful of white batter hits the pan, she pauses and has a change of mind. What follows is her five-colour twist to the desi dish.

'5 colours in one' dosa
Using vegetable-based natural colours — beetroot pink, spinach green, carrot orange, turmeric yellow, and the original white dosa batter — she creates concentric circles on the pan by using multiple plates, finishing it off with a heart shape in the centre. The final result is a vibrant, rainbow-like dosa that she proudly serves on a plate.
While the artistic effort is evident, the internet wasn’t quite impressed. They were put off by the number of utensils used and the task of doing the dishes later.
Netizens react
"I'm happy with white dosa only... I can't wash too many plates," one user wrote.
"Congratulations... you have filled the basin with utensils successfully," echoed another.
One comment simply summed it up, captioning the post, "How to waste time." However, a few users appreciated the preparation with heart emojis.
Despite being posted months ago, the reel has gained momentum recently, with several netizens commenting their opinion on the colourful dosa.
Shweta hasn’t responded to the backlash, but going by the views and likes, her colourful dosa has certainly turned heads and gone viral.
