IPC no IDC..Indian Dosa Code
To me ordering breakfast in a vegetarian hotel has never been a big deal for my choices are written in stone .
My family orders for me if I am still parking and tell the waiter..
.the strong coffee should come along with the dosa ...neither before nor after !
and ..please make it piping hot ....!!
The tons of masala dosas that would have contributed to the lard deposited in my body have done their bit to give me a smile for the day ,a small prize one pays for a big gift .
Good masala dosas dear friends are never dry nor dripping with oil .
They are just between
They are golden brown with a promising middle .
The edges to me should never be paper thin nor carpenter hard .
They need to be as slim as Nayantharaas waist
The filler potatoe masala should be blended smooth with the right flavours and a tinge of spiciness being never to trip over the crevasse
It should rather sit on the precipe but never falling to doom .
The onions should be transcluent with a bitiness but no charring mind you .
The potatoe should never ever be undercooked a bit overcooked is acceptable under WHO standards for those who dont know i meant
World Hari Ordinances ,not what you thought please .
The ghee from dosa should be smelt before tasted .
It should waft gently into our nostrils and stimulate the olfactory bulbs waking up the masala dosa centers in the brain
iam sure some have them like I do
Its all karmabala
The masala dosa center in the brain is
situated between Amygdala and Hippocampus on the right side and lights up in a PET scan when one tastes a good masala dosa !
Yes it does .
Now the smell
Like a good wine the smell of a MD needs to be ambrosia nothing less .
One needs very sensitive olfactory masala dosa receptors which again isnt poseesed by all .
and then comes the Taste
When a healthy piece of dosa with a delectable masala wrapped in it both like lovers on a vacation it then is said to give a million sun bursts at the first succulent bite ..
Like a nuclear flash
The chutneys are always the side actors and can never replace the hero dosa and heroine masala .
But they are vital
The coconut needs to be fresh and the green chilly pieces taut .
The sambhar needs succulent vegetable pieces with the tanginess of a first rain of the monsoon .
My Vada too needs to be in the right place to
it cant be cold ,
Even mentioning a cold vada is unadulterated blasphemy leave alone serving it
Vadas should be warm ,with crusted exteriors and soft insides just like all good people are .
Period
It cant be oily messy or gooey
It has to be dry but never wet .
And no vada is one without a dimple not in its cheek but its middle
No messing with vada holes please .
The best chutney to go with uzzhunu vada is the fresh coconut dry chutney not the watery liquid one .
Now to the Coffee
to me preferably south indian filter coffee
Preferably in brass glass please
Leo kaapi mattum thaan maami !!
Narasus koode ok thaan
Sorry at times go into my Madraas past
But I can settle for a Bru or a Sunrise if well made .
Milk undiluted with enough coffee powder with just a spoon of sugar hot and scalding is my coffee
Any lesser version i frown upon
NOT ALLOWED
So thats it
Its always better to tell ones choices
Never know where my next masala dosa is from 😁
Please follow criterions .
