But realize this - you need something to cut through the sweetness of kesari bath. Each bite must have a bit of khaara, kesari and chutney. Raised eyebrows, for sure.

You serious? A pretty unique quirk. I save the kharabath for last and finish off the Kesaribath first and wash off all the sweetness with khara chutney and thuppa laden rava. Then wash off all the khara with strong filter kaapi. What a savory breakfast!

What a savory breakfast! Of all the things I miss about India, strong, fresh filter coffee is at the very top. I have a filter here. I've tried coffee from various sources including Cothas from the Indian store. Just not the same. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the innumerable permutations. Idli piece now, vade piece now, each with its own unique sambar-chutney ratio. Try watching the top 12 Idli joints list in south Bangalore. All places I grew up eating idlis apart from eating at home, I like the w ay he eats it messy, idli saagu sambar chutney in a orgy of sorts Edited December 24, 2020 by coffee_rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating the Pelata gatti with the chicken gravy vindicates my kesari bhaat-chutney sweet/spicy fetish :-)!! It's also similar to how Maharasthrians eat sweet puran poli with spicy kataachi aamti. Awesome! Edited December 24, 2020 by BacktoCricaddict coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been able to get the rich decoction that I used to be able to do in India, even with the Cothas 70-30 blend . There's something to be said for freshly ground and blended coffee/chicory and using within a week. Will try A2B and see what I get. Thanks!

Like Sonic joints in US. I remember doing it in smaller towns like Hassan, Mandya or even Mysore. @Mariyam spoke about it in the Mumbai thread. Very few in Bangalore has that convenience. But, I prefer an ambiance of a street or a hotel to sit and eat. Not a fan of standing and eating. That's the problem with most of the joints you've mentioned. You have to eat it on the go.

I love pineapple by itself but pizza is not supposed to taste sweet or anything. Seriously no pineapple for me on pizza. I will try what you recommend next time though. :) velu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
