All About the Dosa

I like Indian food. Especially masala dosas. Especially those made in hole-in-the-wall restaurants frequented by locals with plates and silverware I am not sure are clean and, even if they are, were cleaned with local water that may possibly make me sick. In Mysore, all the restaurants recommended by Lonely Planet that we tried were seriously not good, and so we asked for and received excellent recommendations from locals to places like Bombay Indra Bhavan, which you see in this picture. A rule of thumb for restaurants in India may just be, the more it looks like a dire school cafeteria, but is still frequented by locals, the better the food is. They sure don't keep coming back for the atmosphere. It is all about the absolutely scrumptious and spicy masala dosa, with sambar and coconut chutney, for 22 rupees (less than 50 cents US). Yum.
