We’re back to Adyar Ananda Bhavan for Sunday breakfast this morning.
Some of our choices:
-
Ghee Dosa - the classic South Indian crisp crepe made from fermented rice-lentil batter, cooked with clarified butter. It’s served with some really tasty dips: white coconut chutney, spicy-red kara-chutney, green mint-coriander chutney, sambhar and a very aromatic, tasty dhal curry.
-
Pongal - spiced rice and lentils. The version here lagged far behind our fave version from Woodlands restaurant nearby.
-
Idly - very good version, as good as any here at the Little India neighborhood.
-
Masala Dosa - tasty, albeit rather clumsily folded, compared to the perfectly turned out versions we usually get from top South Indian breakfast places here like Woodlands, Chettiar and Pure Saiva.
-
Kesari - much, much too sweet - the worst we’d had, in fact. It lacked the fragrance and flavors we get from (much) better versions elsewhere here. Avoid!
-
Hot beverages, which include tea with milk, masala tea, and Milo
As always, service was friendly and nonpareil. Just wished the food was better.
