Break Fast in Thanjavur
We had traditional South Indian vegetarian breakfast at the extremely popular Subbiahs Mess located at a stones throw from Hotel Tamilnadu where we were staying.It was not a very fancy place. We had delicious idlis, dosas,vadas,puris and rava dosa with generous helping of sambar and a variety of colorful chutneys. We ate in traditional South Indian style - on plantain leaves and used our hands. No knives, forks or spoons ! We had a wholesome,delicious and fulfilling breakfast for which we paid a kings ransom of Rs.230/- or US.$.4/- for 7 persons.

Mouth watering pictures Tanjore was once granary of India and everything was generous.Even two persons cannot eat full in 200 rupees here in Chennai
ReplyDeleteTHAT is a LOT of vadas. :) Delicious looking too.
ReplyDeleteEating from plantain leaves could really take off in a hip new restaurant in Australia I bet! $4 will just about buy you a glass of cola though - forget feeding seven people with it!
ReplyDeleteLooks good enough to eat! You certainly got you money's worth!
ReplyDeleteOMG! u make me hungry!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Spongy Soft Idlis do not look like they are cooked.
ReplyDeleteThe idlis are actually steam cooked !

ReplyDeleteI looooove the idea of no washing up Ram :) the breakfast sounds absolutely delicious and wow, so reasonable.. can you imagine getting such a scrumptious breakfast anywhere else for that price, certainly not in Perth :).

Very nice on the plantain leaves!
ReplyDeleteNothing like eating in the traditional style Ram :) I love eating on the banana leaves! It gives such an authentic taste. Your pictures are splendid and I want a vada now :)
ReplyDeleteI am a crazy fan of these items. :)
ReplyDeleteYummy...
ReplyDeleteMouth watering images. The idlies appear very soft.
ReplyDeleteWe had several South Indian breakfasts in Singapore - all absolutely delicious.
ReplyDeleteMouth watering post! Everything looks so fresh and tasty. Wish I could dig into them right away!
ReplyDeleteFood looks fantastic! Few years ago I couldn't understand how people could like idlis/dosas, but now I totally understand. South Indian would be my first pick. Nice photos :-)
ReplyDeleteOnly Rs.230 for 7 people? Great! The idlis looks really soft! Normally we cannot eat more than 3 idlies in hotels. This looks like home made idlies!
ReplyDeleteI will note down the name of the hotel to visit when we go there!
really mouth watering dishes... idly, vada..
ReplyDeletethanks
Sigh!
ReplyDeleteNothing to beat this South Indian treat Rama! I need to plan another trip down South soon to relish this:)
ReplyDeleteNoted the name of the eat-out.. Great looking captures..
