… means I’m staying in Ernakulam another day longer than I’d intended. However I’va had a new experience at a tiny roadside dhaba. I’d bought a pepsi (it was the only drink he had in a glass bottle and I was desperate) and was sitting drinking it when the owner brought out a bag of ‘instant iddly/dosa’ mix. He opened it, tipped some into a jug and then started making dosa. I had to try one.

They’re not as thin or nice as the dosa I’ve had before but are far better than wheat-flour dosa and are quite filling. Thank you for this, Ernakulam!
