OF DOSA BHATURE AND RAS MALAI

Of Dosa Bhature and Ras malai

There was a restaurent in chennai where they served a three feet long dosa in late 1970s. I think It was somewhere near the university area. But the dosa was paper thin and I did not quite enjoy it. I preferred that thicker, smaller, tastier real dosa that was served to me in a small restaurent just outside Madras  central railway station .

In Nagpur there was a restaurant next to Liberty Cinema.This restaurent in late sixties served the best tea in Nagpur and delicious south indian snacks. A lovable cheerful silver haired Nayyar was the owner. Old Nagpur people will recall how crowded this restaurent was !

During the  1970s the best Chhole bhature in Lucknow were served by a tiny roadside kiosk at Sri Ram Towers in Ashok Marg. There was no seating arrangement there and yet the place was crowded all through the day. So many people carried his bhatura packets to their offices for lunch time indulgence ! I even carried them home quite often.

Ras malai is  a delicious sweet dish and the L.M.B. restaurent in Jaipur, once upon a time, was  famous for its Ras Malai . They served very special Ras malai to me in early eighties. But  the most delicious Ras malai enjoyed by me were at a small restaurent at Chetak circle in Udaipur. Heavenly taste !

I find that an expensive restaurent does not PER SE guarantee good food. And sometimes the tip-oriented waiter has mischief up his sleeves .  Here is my personal experience :

Parting Advice : Enjoy your snacks . Never offend a waiter !
