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
