I thought I knew idlis. I thought they were a tasty, healthy staple, if a little boring at times. But recently I visited Rama Nayak's Udipi Idli House, and tasted idlis in a very new way. Who knew idlis could be so exciting?!
Here are the dishes we ordered:
 |
| Masala-idli with sambar and chutney |
 |
| Oondi Dalitoya |
The oondi is a steamed rice dumpling (like idli). Dalitoya is a type of simple but delicious dal flavoured with lots of hing (asafoetida). I love hing, so I loved this dish.
 |
| Jackfruit idli (fanas muddo) |
This was my absolute favourite. It was sweet and rich, especially with all that butter on top. A bottle of kesari juice is behind the idli.
 |
| The menu |
The menu was wide-ranging (click for larger view). Maybe I'll try pepper idli and rava idli next time
 |
| Accompaniments |
The two tpes of podi with oil just make everything better.
All in all, a good meal was had by all. If you haven't been to this cafe, you're missing something!

That Jackfruit idli looks inviting.
It looks so tempting! Miss my Mumbai food here in Singapore :-(
Delicious and different varieties of idlis, I visit this place very often even if I have to go to central mantunga from west
