foodies walkie

Foodies went on an economizing spree and decided to walk to the much - postponed dosa camp (not the restaurant - but a stall at Koramangala 5th block). 3 hardy members set out against the elements and all (surprise, surprise!) reached the place in 20 minutes only to see the stall enveloped by people and be handed a small chit of paper with  77 on it. Tightening our belts, we moseyed around and fell ravenously on pani puri available nearby. Fortified thus, an hour later, our number was called and we were allowed to take position right in front of the wooden cart. Four huge tavaas were lined up with dosa batter splashed on along with a huge dollop of butter melting over it; a mishmash of vegetables were added, and we called out our preferred fillings choosing to go with one each of chinese (stuffed with noodles and sauces),palak, mushroom and paneer.  We had to seat ourselves on the pavement, not having enough hands to hold 4 plates and grab the food... and grab we did, with scant regard for plate, owner or dosa. A silence descended for the next 20 minutes, interrupted only with slurping noises and cries of pain over burnt fingers.. What words can one choose to describe the most scrumptious dosaas we had ever tasted? Noodles and dosaa turned out to be a more than edible combo; and the palak dosaa was close to divine. With all the butter we downed, the decision to walk back seemed foresighted... And 3 hardy members crawled back, each with satisfied smiles and weighing a little heavier than before. We would rate it 9/10 with the bill being negligible, the food perfect, and totally worth the wait and the weight
