Some new stuff from Murugan Idli Veg. Restaurant

Murugan Idli Veg. Restaurant, Syed Alwi Road

At Murugan Idli Veg. Restaurant (, )  during lunch to check out some of the new-er items on their menu. I don't know when they were introduced but we noticed them from our last visit.

Murugan Idli Veg. Restaurant, vegetable briyani

The reason why we were here at lunch instead of the usual breakfast timing was because their vegetable briyani is only available from 11am.

It's pretty good. Savoury with warm spices and pepper with bits of vegetables like green peas, string beans, tomato, nuts and if I wasn't mistaken, some paneer. Flavourful yet not heavy. It's a single portion per order for this one. Why did I mention it? Because some briyani come in big assed portions that can feed two. 

Murugan Idli Veg. Restaurant, kesari sambar korma raita

Came with sambar, korma, raita and some kesari. Sambar was delicious.

Murugan Idli Veg. Restaurant, kizhi dosa

The other new item on their menu was their kizhi dosa. From what I found after some brief search, kizhi translates into pouch/parcel/bundle in Tamil/Malayalam. So this was a parcel-ed dosa wrapped in banana leaf and subsequently steamed. They even have an IG reel showing how it's cooked.

Kinda similar to a banjir prata with the gravy soaked in and all. Obviously there was none of the crisp like the regular ones have. There was something between the layers of dosa which I couldn't identify though. Anyways, this one was pretty hefty. Not bad tasting.
