MULBAGAL DOSA

With Restaurants closed due to the lockdown in my city, a lot of food that I usually love to eat or order in was stopped….which was actually a good thing as it brought out my cooking talents like never before. I experimented with a lot of recipes – from chaat to bakery style toasts, to temple style puliyogare to restaurant style Manchurians to burgers and pizzas and hardly missed eating out as most of the food that I ate out were made at home and what’s more it was healthier! The one food I could not replicate was the dosa.

I craved dosa like nothing else so as soon as the restrictions were lifted and an ad popped up on a site about home delivery of Mulbagal dosa, I thought I’d try it. At times like this, where eating out is risky, this was such a welcome relief and the taste just like home made food.

Originally from Mulbagilu, a place in Karnataka, what is special about this dosa is that the batter is different, cast iron tava is used, chutney is different, cooked only one side, and made with pure ghee.

My craving was actually for masala dosa and set dosa and this seemed like a combination of the two – crispy and fluffy at the same time. Taste was good and long after you’ve eaten the dosa, the smell of ghee on your hand still lingers on. The palya or stuffing inside the dosa was filled with onions and seasoning. I found it a bit salty. I really missed more potatoes in it like the generous potato stuffing in the regular dosa.

The dosa was ordered and delivered promptly. Service was top notch, came at the promised time and well packed and enough messages to alert you that your order is on the way! These guys use mineral water to prepare the batter and all hygiene precautions were followed. A video of the preparation was sent. Minimum order was five dosas @Rs. 50 per dosa plus delivery charges – a tad much but it was worth it to experience something different.

So anytime you are in a mood to move away from the regular dosa, and don’t feel like making breakfast call Praveen on 88674 97289 and place your order a day in advance. You just might be glad you did:)

PS: They undertake party orders too with live counters.
