Taaza Thindi

I have been told to visit Taaza Thindi by a few of you and I thought why not . We reached the place around 7.40 am this morning and it was bustling with a lot of food activities. People in beelines for their orders . A few things I noticed was the hygiene , the masks . This place has a limited menu of Chow Chow bath , idli, vada and Dosa . We ordered one plate of each and stood in the queue. Before I forget to mention they had an offer which was a coffee free 🙂

The idlis were soaked in chutney like the other of my favourite joints. The idli’s were soft , chutney very nicely flavoured and mildly spiced . The Kharabath was delicious , a little watery but thats how I like it . The kesari bath was very sweet for my palette yet nice. The queue for Dosa was too long and the least I wanted to do was stand in a queue for over 20 mins . I got the token exchanged for idlis so didn’t try their dosas. They looked very crispy though .

In short this place has some good breakfast and an AYE from me. Please be prepared for standing in queues . Even the dosa counter apparently belts out 30 dosas at one shot. I like these kind of joints which has a simple menu and puts all their energy in ensuring their food is good. However I would prefer a friendly staff on the other side than robots looking boys who points fingers for any question .

Try and let me know how you liked it .

Adigas

Sunday morning breakfast is like a ritual and most days its a planned affair. Today however it was a knee jerk reaction. We were near Adigas when we were hungry and it didn’t take us a second to decide 🙂 .

I ordered the classic idli (I know I said classic , doesn’t it sound uber cool?) and my friend asked for mini idlis , they should name them the minions if you ask me 😉 . After paying at the cash counter , we collected the receipt and headed to the delivery counter and that guy asked me if I wanted my idlis soaked in Sambhar and I happily nodded as that is the way I like it at Darshinis .. My friend got these mini idlis soaked in a yellow gravy loaded with ghee. I tried tasting that dish but was unsuccessful as all I could taste was ghee which I am not a fan of.

I love the open dosa’s at Adigas which I will order the next time , but this time was a no compliant one as always . Its an Aye from me . There are several Adigas in Bangalore , I visited the one on Ulsoor road . Simply enjoy maadi

Madurai Idli Shop

Once upon a time when Tamil style idli and sambhar was on mind I used to visit this place and somewhere had forgotten. Last Sunday when Idli’s were on my mind for brekkie the closest destination was Madurai Idli shop. So decided to park the car and walk in hoping all was the same .

The idlis were ok and I am unsure what the gravy is called for it surely wasn’t sambhar . I thought tomato gravy and didn’t event eat it  after tasting once ,however the guys at the service counter told me it was sambhar . Service was bad, “I dint care attitude “. I decided to eat and leave as I wasn’t planning to visit them again anyways . The idlis were cold and just ok . No spoons and the wait was unbearable .. May be expansion is not everyones cup of tea and inflation make people compromise on the quality and quantity. This is the era where chutney is more of water than flavour , whom can we blame really ? This place is a big nay! from me .. If you want to give it a try below are the details , you never know it might be your day 🙂
