A food stall in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, has taken the culinary scene by storm with its unconventional creation—the blue ocean dosa. This unique dish, characterised by its vibrant blue hue, has become a talking point among food enthusiasts and divided netizens over its appeal and authenticity.
The dosa, a traditional south Indian delicacy, is typically known for its golden-brown colour and served with an array of chutneys and sambar. However, this particular rendition challenges the norms with its striking blue appearance, reminiscent of the deep sea.
Social media platforms have become a battleground for food critics, bloggers, and everyday netizens expressing their opinions on the blue ocean dosa.
While some applaud the creativity and daring approach of the chefs, others are sceptical about tampering with a classic recipe. The debate has escalated, creating a viral sensation around the mysterious blue dosa.
Amid the controversy, the Raipur food stall has seen a surge in customers eager to try the dosa for themselves.

The stall’s owners remain tight-lipped about the secret behind the blue colour, adding an element of mystery to the entire affair.
