Dosas for Dinner

So, I have been on this Indian food kick lately…ok, I am always on it. But Indian food is the BEST!! Here you will see a side of me that usually defies my general reaction to all things Indian. Ever since I came back from India, I am able to, or rather, I am learning once again, how to accept the people, while I embrace the colors, food and traditions of the country.

I decided to have dosas and molagapodi ( roughly translated, chili/chutney powder) for dinner. After finally getting the right consistency and the right spoon to spread the batter, I enjoyed some delectable dosas this evening. It is so strange that no matter how many years I have been away from India, that South Indian flavor of food will never be erased from my palette’s memory.

Grateful for the access I have to some Indian things, I have been enjoying murukkus ( lentil flour munchies), badam sweets ( almond sweets), sambar, appalams, and the like. So finger-licking good! ( In India, this would be quite literal.)

I also have a roommate who is understanding of the aromas of Indian cooking and enjoys the food from time to time. This makes it easier to be more creative in what I cook and eat. All in all, a great dinner!
