I was quite worried about what dish I would get for alphabets like E but thankfully not only did I get a dish, I got one of the easiest and tastiest dishes. Eerulli dose is nothing but the popular onion utthapam as it is known in Karnataka. The humble onion utthapam is so simple yet…

Davangere Benne Dose
This is a classic dosai and one of the first ones I decided on when I was compiling my list of dishes for this month. I am absolutely in love with the various doses of Karnataka but like everyone I love the benne dose the best. Benne means butter and like its name this dose…
Chakuli Pitha
When I started compiling the list of dosais, I knew it would have a Southern region bias because dosais are such a staple in these parts. I knew I would get some similar dishes from Western parts like Maharashtra or Gujarat but I honestly did not expect to travel east in my dosai exploration. Today’s…
Balehannu Dose|Banana Dosai
For the second day of the mega marathon, I have the Balehannu Dose or the banana dosai. Thanks to this marathon, I discovered the amazing variety of dosais made in Karnataka. I have been consciously trying out more local food since I moved back to Bangalore two years ago but my dose knowledge was kind…
Adai|Lentil Crepes
This is the first day of our Mega Marathon when we blog about Flatbreads & More. As I declared yesterday, I am doing A to Z of Dosais thanks to a mutiny by the husband and daughter. My original dish for A was to be Appam which is not only my favorite dish but also…

Mint & Coriander Dip
Continuing with my hung curd spree, today I am posting a quick mint and coriander dip with hung curd. We celebrated my daughter’s birthday over the weekend which is the reason I was left with some mint & coriander chutney as also a whole load of chips that feature in the photos. So I just…
Spicy Hung Curd Dip
There are times when I get very hung up on certain dishes and ingredients and keep repeating them so often that the husband and daughter finally do an intervention only for me to get obsessed over the next dish. Now it is the hung cure time. I keep straining the curd in the cheesecloth and…
Stuffed Idli
This series seems to be one of hasty phone pictures. History repeated itself, as it often does in my house, when the daughter and husband claimed to be so hungry that waiting even for a second was impossible. It is so weird that there are days when I have the meal ready way before time…
