BacktoCricaddict Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 7 hours ago, coffee_rules said: in Karnataka authentic ways, Dosa is supposed to be had with alu palya and chutney. Sambhar with dosey is a Chennai import. I grew up eating like it, without sambhar. So. In Bangalore circles, Dosa without sambar is considered more original and authentic. Now, if you are going to go there, the authentic way to eat idli-vade is to cut up the idlis and vade in your plate into bite-sized pieces, pour the chutney and sambar over the pieces, don't let them drown, and then savor each piece of mystery. All the innumerable permutations. Idli piece now, vade piece now, each with its own unique sambar-chutney ratio. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamils have their Macroon (Tuticorin ones ), Tirunelveli Halwa, Kozhukattai, Jangri etc to feast on, no one apart from velu cares about MP. Granted Tamil sweets are behind Bengali ones but at least now the Mysore Pak burden is unchained from their necks. Enjoy your Dosa sans Sambhar and Mysore Pak dessert, might as well drink Karela juice to wash all that down We still own patents in "Special mysorepa" domain coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vade= Donut? Aappam = steamed rice bar? WTF? Just call it Vade and Aappam. I understand reaching out to a wide audience, but sometimes there's just not an equivalent. there is never an equivalence. Donut is more like a barfi with a hole in it than a Vada and Pancake is more like a appam (the sweet version not the Kerala version) than a Dosa. May be because western food is more sweet based and our food is more spicy/savory so it is very tough to find an equivalence. Cricketics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sennai has made Sambar a BFF of Dosa, while it is not. Talking about how to eat idli- vada , options are Separate-aa or Boat-aa? Separate A2B style: Boat UpaharaDarshini style: I prefer the latter with associated slurpy noises around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western sweet stuff if consumed in same amount as we consume Indian sweets, then it is likely a person will have diabetes. Western sweet stuff is so shyt that we don't end up eating as much. maniac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BacktoCricaddict Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Speaking of breakfast foods: As much as Dosay, Idli, Vade etc. are awesome, there's something to be said for Misal Pav and Kadhi Vada. The best can be had at Rajkamal Misal in Narayangaon on Pune - Nashik highway. This review is about their new center in Nashik: https://justnashik.com/2018/03/12/food-review-famous-rajkamal-misal-from-narayangaon-is-now-in-nashik/ coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
