Thin, crisp masala dosas with a lovely, golden hue — if this doesn’t fill your heart with glee {and ghee} we don’t know what will. While you can dunk bits of it in the waiting bowl of hot sambhar, the bright-orange podi {a spicy powder} that’s sprinkled generously on the inside gives that dish a lovely chilli hit and makes it easily devourable.

Looking for a healthy, non-fried but delicious option? Try the Idiyappam. For your money’s worth, you’ll get a billowy bed of string hoppers that have a lovely softness to them. The accompanying coconut milk adds a subtle sweetness to the dish while the vegetable stew provides a bit of spice.

Now, don’t be thrown off by the spelling. The Oothappam {or the uttapam, as we more commonly know it}, at Krishna Kafe, comes with all the classic textures and flavours that we love about the dish. There is the crunch of the onions, the spice for the small bits of chilli and coriander, and the airiness of the batter itself. At the eatery, you can get your Oothappam plain, sprinkled with podi, or with chunks of tomato.

The Rasa Vadai is only available on select days so make sure you call ahead to find out whether it’s made to the menu.
