Eating out at Chennai – Part II

Dosai - perfect proportion (Reduced portion though)

I was introduced to Saravanabhavan – Parrys Corner in 1990 or 1989 I think as a hotel that served you colorful chutneys and a dosai whose quality was superior to the Udupi hotels in Parry’s corner that I was used to.

Eating out at Chennai – Part I

Thokku

Yogurt Rice (Curd Rice – Tairsadam)

Curd rice is one of the simplest and best delicacies to go for on a hot summer day.
