Dishes to know on this menu

Dosa: A thin, crisp South Indian crepe of fermented rice-and-lentil batter, served with sambar and coconut chutney. Masala dosa is folded around spiced potato; Mysore masala adds a red chili-garlic smear; rava dosa is a lacy semolina version; paper dosa is the extra-large, extra-crisp one. Uttapam is the same batter cooked thick like a pancake with onion, tomato and chili on top. On this menu as: Dosa Corner · Plain Dosa · Masala Dosa.
Garam masala: "Masala" simply means a spice blend, or the sauce built on one. Garam masala ("warm blend") is the finishing mix of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, cumin, black pepper and other whole spices toasted and ground, added at the end of cooking for aroma rather than heat. Every region and household has its own proportions. On this menu as: Masala Dosa · Onion Masala Dosa · Butter Masala Dosa.
Idli, vada & upma: South Indian breakfast. Idli are soft steamed cakes of the same fermented batter as dosa; medu vada are savory lentil doughnuts, crisp outside and fluffy within (dahi vada are soaked in spiced yogurt); upma is a savory semolina porridge; pongal is rice and lentils cooked soft with pepper, cumin and ghee. All are eaten with sambar and chutney. On this menu as: Medhu Vada (2pc) · Sambar Vada (2pc) · Rasa Vada (2pc).
Ghee: Clarified butter cooked until the milk solids brown and are strained out, leaving a nutty, shelf-stable fat with a high smoke point. Used for tempering spices, frying, brushing on breads and enriching sweets and dal. On this menu as: Ghee Podi Idly (3pc) · Ghee Dosa · Ghee Masala Dosa.
Dal: Lentils, and the soupy stew made from them. Dal tadka is yellow lentils finished with a tempering (tadka) of spices sizzled in ghee; dal makhani is black lentils and kidney beans simmered overnight with butter and cream; sambar is the sour, tamarind-and-vegetable lentil stew of the south, served with dosa and idli. On this menu as: Sambar Soup · Sambar Vada (2pc) · Sambar Idly (2pc) Dipd.
Thali: A complete meal on one round platter: small bowls (katoris) of dal, two or three vegetable curries, raita, pickle, papad, rice and bread, often with a sweet. Gujarati and Rajasthani thalis are lavish and unlimited; a South Indian "meals" is the banana-leaf equivalent. The easiest way to try a kitchen's range at lunch. On this menu as: Thali & Rice Varieties · Anandabhavan Special Thali · Mini Meals.
