My daily dabba

Every morning I eat in my Dabba, together with some other westerns, attracted by the nice idlys and the good prices.

 

My morning starts always with 2 idly and 2 vadais. Idly is made of rice and fat and spice free, but very yummie. The vadais are fried but together with the idly it is a nice combination I finish it of with a single chai made with a lot of milk and water and not so much tea. The whole breakfast is on average 11 rps about 0.10 euro cent. Then I move to Arvind corner along the street to Bangalore for the best chai shop coffee. Arvind corner is a chai shop and in the evening a food dabba. It also the only chai shop which use real coffee they other chai shops use a combination of coffee and chicory mostly made by Nescafe sad stuff esp if you know how much coffee they use only a pinch of the top of a teaspoon.

 

 

Lunch i take either in Ragini they have a nice satvic thali with nice vegetables but it is 50 rps or I go to She Sadre Ashram for a meal ( 19 rps). All meals consist out of rice and some overcooked vegetables and are served on banana leaves. The good thing of She Sadre Ashram is I get my meal quickly and I'm out in 30 minutes. Sometimes I go to Tasty they make western look a like food. It is ok food in the beginning great but now it is getting boring and expensive (I get use to Dabba prices :)).

 

For dinner I go to my dabba joint... Parotha, dosa and omelet they "serve" it on banana leaves, the sambar and the cocunut chutney comes in buckets.   It is a nice place in the evening some Indians and many western longstay people come here. Dinner cost me about 15 rps at the most. The evening drink is for the more western places like Tasty, Pumpernickel or Mana cafe. These are the places to hang out an evening.
