Madurai: A team of more than 20 dosa
masters joined hands today to make the world's longest dosa, measuring a
serpentine 48.25 ft, which found a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The record-breaking crew, led by renowned chef
Damoranan, known as Dhamu, broke the previous record of the Vijayawada Hotel
owners Association, who had made a 38.2 ft long dosa.
"We spread the longest ever dosa - Guinness dosa
today," Damodaran, who was assisted by 20 dosa masters in the effort, said.
The feat was achieved as part of the food
festival organised at the Tamukkam Ground here by the Madurai Rountable 14 in
association with Ladder Commercial Solutions, a Chennai-based event management
company, and with support from Madurai Hotels' Association.
The event was held to raise funds to support
government schools and orphanages.
As part of the feat, a 61-ft dosa pan had been
made and fitted to a special steel table. The weight of the pan was 900 kg,
Satish Devadoss, one of the organisers, said.
The organisers started using the 61-ft dosa tawa
by rolling out dosas for visitors yesterday. The final spread was done as per
Guinness specifications. Officials from the Guinness Book of World records were
present when the dosa was made, Devadoss said.
The burners for the huge dosa tawa were
manufactured and brought from Chennai while three dosa tawas, each measuring 20
ft each, were fitted here. The total weight of infrastructure involved in the
event including table and pan burner was 4,000 kg, Devadoss said.
The huge quantity of batter required to make the
Guinness dosa, about 1,500 kg of it, was provided by Hotel Temple City.
Besides the 20 dosa masters aiding chef Dhamu in
the effort, experts and students from catering colleges also joined the event.
"Our plan is to raise Rs seven lakh and support
two Government schools for constructing classrooms through the event," Devadoss
said
