Loading ...I had a feeling it was about time I started an “unstructured” section on my blog that allowed me to pen down random thoughts on the subject of food. This first post titled Idli’s, Omelette’s and such is an attempt to do just that.
While my preference in cuisines range from Japanese to Italian I am a huge fan of the South Indian breakfast. Dosa’s and Idli’s in particular, so when an opportunity presents itself I tend to favour this over eggs and bacon ( sometimes 
).
This “tryst” happened at the Garuda mall where a few of us had decided to go catch a movie ( since I can’t remember which movie lets assume the food was the high point of that visit ) . While we waited quietly muttering at the crowds the Sukh Sagar stand caught my eye. They had a “variety” idli plate which included a regular rice idli, a rava idli and what I swear looked like something made out of basin. Though, honestly I’d have eaten anything with the brilliant chutney they served.
If you are a fan of chaat’s then you really ought to try theirs, however the dahi samosa was a tad sweet. Even though some people tend to shy away from dahi based dishes and stick to the more fiery ones I’m afraid my tolerance is rather low and hence when it comes to chaat, dahi puri, papdi always seems to be my chaat of choice – The crunchiness of the sev and the balance between the sweet of the tamarind and the spice of the chilly sauce.
I reconnected with an old friend a couple of months ago at my office cafeteria, a bread omlette. To this day I’m amazed at how well this dish appeases my hunger, after having moved on from those days in college when this was considered part of our staple breakfast. Though honestly choosing this dish in the morning was a no-brainer given that the only other option were the “clay pigeon” idlis.
And bringing up the rear of this post is a horrid veggie sandwich from Barista, which costs easily 5 times as much as any of the other dishes and is as many times less appealing.
Until my next craving, soldier on my fellow foodies!
