| Isn't that a lovely mural for a roadside restaurant to have? I want one! |
There is roadside restaurant called Kamat Lokaruchi, on the highway from Bangalore to Mysore, in India. I have stopped here a few times to hog on south Indian food, specifically, banana leaf food. The place is excellent and cheap but who knows what popularity will do to it in the future.
Different curries and vegetable mixes are ladled onto your banana leaf and they keep coming around to ladle more till you beg them to stop. It is here that I discovered that an idli ( a type of savoury cake made of a fermented rice and lentil mixture which is steamed in a special round, steel idli moulds) can also be steamed in a palm leaf wrapping, which gives it a special flavour and colour.
It's divine and you dip it in a lentil soup or in a chutney of coconut or tomatoe or...mmmmmm, yummilicious!
