New Modern Hotel

It was another sunday morning and another place . We stopped at the new modern hotel and I had heard rave reviews about the sambhar here . It was bustling with people and we didn’t find a table but the best part of these places is that we can share the table with others . When the agenda is gorging and walking out who cares really ;). So we shared our table with 2 others. We ordered for idli/Vada and there were loads of sambhar on the table in these utensils . Also extra sambhar was served very proactively .We also tried the kesari baath .

Idli /Vada was good, Sambhar was ok too. Nothing I fell for unfortunately . Some places have their legacy from years and may be people just love it. No reasons required .

The keshri baath was very sweet for my palette but good . Look at it, doesn’t it say it all ?

Vishnu Thatte Idli

Another morning workout at Cubbon park and then decided to settle for Vishnu thatte idli located on old airport road, Domlur. I went there once before this however couldn’t write as the experience  didn’t manage to stay with me or was it the taste.

It is a small outlet with mostly people picking their parcels and I seldom saw anyone eat there . It has one table in case you want to eat at the outlet. No varieties , its only idli and chutney and serve on plantain leaf on a news paper . People queued up for their orders and I saw lot of parcels being carried away . I settled for one thatte idli . The idli is thicker than any other place I have eaten so far, if you know me you do know that I love idlis . I have eaten softer, fluffier ones and the chutney is very simple and nothing to rave about in my opinion. I have tasted nicer ones and hence it is difficult to please me*facepalm*. This place has some ardent fans and I think everyone has their own likings so why not? I will revisit sometimes for sure, for no fancy breakfast , its an AYE from me . The picture above is to die for now? 🙂

Brahmins Thatte Idli

Sunday mornings for me is all about a good workout and yummilicious breakfast and it is my endeavour to find a place every sunday 🙂 . Today was Brahmins Thatte idli , located in Ashwathnagar.

Ms. Google took me to the place and for a while I was unsure if I wanted to be a part of the food battle however mustered the courage and went to the battle ground. The queue was very badly managed . A mini stampede was what I witnessed . The swiggy boys about half a dozen in number were a part of this group waiting for their parcels so that they can vroom away. We took over 10 mins to reach the cash counter and before I realised there was a bee line behind us.

My order was 2 thatte idlis and one chow chow bath . As the tradition in this part of Bangalore goes there is no sambhar with the order and chutney is served by a man separately outside all this cacophony . I managed to successfully get the plate of idli and chowchow bath and headed to the chutney man . One white chutney and one red was their way of serving. We walked up to the car and decided to eat and that might explain the slant in the image 🙂

The idlis were soft like jasmine flower(a saying in kannada- soft and white ), mallige hoovu in kannada and the coconut white chutney was nice. The red one was a proxy chutney whose presence or absence will make no difference in my life as it was bleh ! The chowchow bath was nicely done and kesaribath a tad sweeter than I would have liked . But if you plan to eat chowchow bath together , sweetness is not an issue . In short we liked the place and was worth the battle to try once . I am unsure of my revisit , if I do you will know 🙂 . Its an AYE ! Enjoy

#SriRaghavendraStores

If you are a Bangalorean this name will sound familiar , a place that serves bisi bisi idli (piping hot) , shavigae bath , upma , kesari bath and rice with coffee /tea. After my sunday run we decided to head to malleswaram and since it was long since I visited Raghavendra stores we decided to head there . It took about 15 mins to reach on a sunday morning and I was surprised to notice that there was hardly any crowd there unless every other time, was it my luck or the sunday morning laziness I wondered nevertheless thanked my stars and went ahead and ordered . Ordered one plate idli, and one plate idli with vada . It came in soaked in chutney .

IMG_6580This is the way lot of places serve idli esp around malleswaram and most of them who visit there raise their eyebrows on learning that there is no Sambhar and I smile at them 😉 . The chutney is unlimited if that question popped in your head . In my opinion there are far more better places in the surroundings which serve nicer idlis but one has to visit this place atleast once for the name it carries and ofcourse palette varies , you might simply fall in love . So its an aye from me , go try I say .

#by2coffee

After a tiring run on the MG road this morning all that i wanted is some comfort food and what better than Idli :).. We decided to drive down to namma malleswaram and enjoy the piping hot idlis at by2 coffee . This is located a few meters away from Veena Stores.

For starters I ordered Idli vada and this plate(see below) cost Rs.30 , I mean isn’t this economical? They don’t have the concept of sambhar but this coconut+mint chutney is yummy . Very swift service and I didn’t take time to fetch the idli+vada combo and relish it. The idli’s melt in the mouth and this is something I cant explain but one has to relish it ..

While I was busy enjoying my idlis I saw a lot of them carry the uppit or kharabath and I was drawn towards the idea to try some of that too. So I got a plate of kharabath , immersed in chutney and it was delicious too. It was very different with peas and capsicum in it . What better way to begin the day than some good work out and delicious breakfast?
