This button idly sambar was pretty good. Those are little idlys in sambar if anyone was wondering.
MTR's special pongal was a much better experience than the one from M.M.H Tiffin Centre. I had been expecting them to be dryer. Kinda like those we've previously had at Murugen Idli Shop, A2B Veg Restaurant or Ananda Bhavan. Maybe that's why this one was special.
Anyways, I did enjoy this rendition too. Rice-y tasting wet gruel with lentils flavoured with pepper, cumin and a bit of ginger. Pretty sure there's a bunch of other spices in there that have eluded me.
Vada from them has always been good and today wasn't any different. Crisp skin, spiced filled and tender yet dense savoury donuts.
That's the sagu masala dosa. Curried vegetables instead of potatoes in the dosa. Great stuff with lovely flavour from the crisp pancake.
Pretty decent lemon rice. Tangy and savoury with nuts and a hint of ginger.
Trying uppit for the first time. They're also known as upma - kinda like pongal but are made with rice flour and semolina. The texture was pudding/dry porridge-like with a coconut-y flavour infused with ghee and black pepper. Amidst other stuff. 👍🏼
Badam kesari bhath - a rendition of their kesari bhath with slivers of almond. Nice.
I've been wanting to try their chandrahara for a while. It's a dense sweet pastry. Not sure if what we tasted came from just the creamy saffron sauce or did the pastry also include spices. Lots of cardamom and pretty milky.
For the first time ever in all our visits, a masala chai. This one had a balanced masala mix and was milky.
