Meet the Twitter user who went viral for saying he was served egg water dosa at Kochi airport

Manish Jain went to Earth Lounge at the airport with his friends for breakfast at 8am. He decided to order a dosa and that's where it all started.

If you have been on Twitter lately, you probably have seen the controversy surrounding a man’s claim of dosa made with egg water served at Kochi airport. The man’s tweet went viral and sparked a flurry of reactions and he was brutally trolled and even charged for misunderstanding egg water (anda paani) as cold water (thanda paani).

Manish Jain is based in Mumbai and works as a financial advisor. While speaking to Aaj Tak, Manish said that he was in Kochi for a tour and the incident occurred on May 3 while he was waiting at the Kochi airport at around 9:30am for his IndiGo flight to Mumbai.

HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED

Manish went to Earth Lounge at the airport with his friends for breakfast at 8am. He decided to order a dosa and went to the counter where three bowls were kept. There was some yellow-coloured water in one of the bowls kept there that the chef was using to cook. When Manish asked the cook about the contents, he said, “Egg water.” Manish was shocked and asked again, following which the cook repeated, “Egg water.”

Manish also added that he belongs to the Jain community and is vegetarian. “I was angry because these people don’t care about religious beliefs.” When Manish caused a ruckus at the lounge, the head cook told him that this is a “regular practice” and is quite common.

The head cook also told Manish that they make omelettes as well on the same tawa.

Manish asked the lounge to apologise for their conduct. The cook did apologise but he refused to accept Manish's demand to issue a formal apology.
