Food File # 2

Meal: Breakfast
Location: Nilgiri's
Ordered: Idli, Vada, Set Dosa, Masala Dosa
Price: Under $2.50 US for 3 diners
The Deal: Nilgiri's is quickly becoming my favorite close place to eat. Breakfast served 6am-noon, lunch until 3, first dinner @ 4:30pm, full dinner at 7pm.Here is a typical Indian breakfast. An idli, oval fermented-rice poof-ball is dipped in spicy veg sambar or the sweeter (and spicy) coconut chutney. I like to order vadas with mine. They are like doghnuts with peppercorns and herbs crammed in, then you dip it in the sauces. Round two consists of dosas. In the background lie a stack of set dosas which are like pancakes ready to dip. (see the theme?) The extra grease-fried masala dosa comes with a scoop of a sort of potato salad. Mmmmmnnnnnmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....
