Indian-origin student Pranav Pannala brought the taste and smell of southern India to his college classroom in the United States.
Students attending a lecture were surprised when , Pannala also known as Pedda P, a US-born Indian fusion singer, prepared fresh dosas with a side of chutney and potato masala for his fellow classmates.
A video of Pedda P serving the dosas, which was also tasted by the professor, was shared on Instagram. The clip quickly went viral, with several users commenting about the amazing gesture.
The latest video on his feed was captured by the professor himself. It received more than 52,000 likes as of Monday, March 13, 2023.
“Bro there is a separate fanbase for dosa,” one user wrote. Another praised the professor, saying: “Teacher passes the video check.” A third user said: “wish I could get such a cool professor for teaching us, at the same time being friendly to Pranav!! OMG really awesome.”
A previous video, titled part 3, shows Pedda P interrupting the professor talking about Tesla. Pedda P tells the professor that he has been preparing dosas using the “Balaji dosa mix.”
A social media influencer, Pedda P seems to have a close bond with dosas. He released a song titled MyDosa on February 24, 2023, which also featured another artist – ShakesProd –who along with Pedda P founded the Dosa Student Association which aims to “spread dosa awareness and best practices regarding making crispy dosas.”
The association apparently has a zero-discrimination policy and welcomes “brown, white, small, tall, round, square whatever” to join them.
