Watch: 'Idli ATM' machine in Bengaluru leaves internet stunned

The pandemic has increased technological and digital development, and its influence is now being felt even in the food industry. Innovations in restaurants have ranged from self-order kiosks to robot servers that take orders automatically. In that case, certainly, Bangaloreans are unrivalled when it comes to developing answers to any problem whether it is housing challenges, sanitary problems, or hunger issues. Now a startup has installed an automatic idli-making machine in the city to provide foodies with contactless and fresh idlis quickly. A video of the machine has widely been shared across the internet and is going viral.

In the clip, a person can be heard describing how an eatery in Bengaluru was using a machine to provide hot and fresh idlis. One can place the order quite easily by scanning the application code and making the payment online. The idli vending machine’s menu included idlis, vada, and even podi idli. The process is very swift and the idlis are packaged in recyclable containers and served with chutney from a separate, smaller machine on the side. A girl can also be seen there following each of the steps to make it simpler for the viewers.

The caption of the Twitter post reads, “Idli ATM in Bangalore.” Since being shared, the post has grabbed the eyeballs of foodies and received over 4.5 lakh views. Nearly 10,000 users have liked the innovation so far. Numerous bizarre reactions were also spotted in the comment section.

A user sarcastically said, “Hope one day we will be able to eat digitally too.”
