Idli House

I have been an idli eater every Sunday for breakfast and now it has become a habit that i will carry it to my grave. The whole idea of eating idli started because the sellers from Dharavi who come with their pom poms used to deliver at home. It was also very cheap, five pieces for Rs 5, now its Rs 10. But apart from the money part its was more about giving a break to the regular breakfast items which were available on week days---Poha, Bread Butter, Eggs, Upma, Malpua, Mince...Soon it became that idli went well with hot jaleebi and the story continues with Dhokla, green peas samosa....Seriously but constant was idli..
Recently i was introduced to a tiny place in Matunga (Central), Rama Nayak's Idli House. I know it has been since decades but it was my first visit. The visit started with Mudho a rolled idli in Kevda leaves. Then came the masala idli, my friends munched on Pepper idli. The two pieces of idlis that i had was filling enough for an equivalent to a dinner.
The other regular type of idlis are also available there be it ---rava idli, kanchipuram idli etc. The kafee in a dabbra is also available. While leaving i took two pieces parcel of everything and trust me the Sunday breakfast was too healthy and filling....Add Molgapudi chutni to it to have the taste of an authentic South Indian idli.
To everyone many more Idli House visits soon...
