The place is filled with the smell of sandal incense sticks and it's overflowed with crowd, people keep moving in and out and few persons in uniform walking, no no literally they are running here and there, i saw a big spacious room with a small entrance, it seemed to be a iron weapon factory.white mist came out from that place and i can constantly hear 'tap- dap-tap’ sound of an iron plate and 'shhhhhhhhh' sound . The uniformed people keep going inside and came out from that room. Neengala nenaiakalam iva etha da solla vara nu, it's a hotel!! Yeah, the famous hotel of that city.
Me and my brother stand there with a hopeless face , it's already 6.15 pm , we were standing here more than a hour to get a seating but we can't. After a great struggle we got a place. It's near the big glass window, where you can get the clear view of that busy city. Im seriously admiring the busy cars , bikes and lorries. Suddenly a dialogue of senthil sir flashed in my mind, "ippadi oodi aadi uzhaikirathu ethuku, intha oru jaan vaithukuthana ", how true these lines, hmmmm..., I relieved a long breath ! Sari namma vantha velaya papom. That time a barer with a pleasant smile approach us, I still wonder how he can smile, his face is evidently show that he is tired but still he is smiling.
Barer : Ninage ēnu bēku?? (In kannada) ( I hope na crt aa than kannada la solli iruken nu if mistake iruntha please mannichidunga). (Translation : ungaluku enna venum?
Without any delay me and my brother said : Masala dosa
The barer smiled and left that place, yes we came here for their "masala dosa".they are famous for this dosa, you can see so many people waiting in quee for hours to eat this dosa.
When I was a child I saw the way they made their iconic" Masala dosa" ,still that scenario remains fresh in my mind, The dosa master spray hand full of water on the hot pan and remove the excess water a using a broom, his swag while using that broom, pahh!! Then he took a cup full of dosa batter and make a medium round, even I can't draw that circle properly in my paper using compass. Suddenly oru quote niyabgam varuthu,
A ladle filled with dosa batter is nothing but a compass with pencil. You just need to draw the perfect dosa
He made a medium thick round and let them for a pair of seconds, then he took a red chutney and spread it all over the dosa, on the top of that chutney spread dosa he put a cup full of" paliya" (potato masala) , then without any hesitation he splash a generous amount of ghee on it, he leave that dosa until it's bottom become golden brown and crispy consistency, the he fold that dosa in triangle shape and carefully transfer it to a plate. (Actually itha jet speed la panniduvanga na than atha slowmo la sollitu iruken)
Suddenly I feel tap on my shoulder, then only I came to reality . It's none other than my brother.
Bro : pothum pothum un kanavu anga paru namma order varuthu!
I saw that direction, suddenly I can hear violine sound in my background and chill breeze in my face and finally my love "Masala dosa" Came to my hand.

Original picture of that hotel masala dosa
They serve this dosa with sambar, green chilly and coconut mixed thick chutney and a small cup of pure ghee.
I took that small cup of pure ghee and pour it in the centre of that hot dosa, then took a piece from the center of the dosa with paliya (potato masala) then dip that in their spicy trademark chutney and eat my very first bite , wareyy wahh!! My mouth is explodes with flavours, then I took a spoon of their sweet and spicy lentil sambar!! Literally I felt I'm in heaven, no words to describe the happiness.
After a few bites I realized it's going to over, my heart ached but I don't have any other options, cause hundreds of people waiting like me for this dosa. So half heartedly I took my last bite and moved to wash our hands. Then we paid our bill, that owner with a smile like laughing budhha told us, visit us again! !

Oh my gawwd!! Now I'm craving for Masala dosa🥺 neenga??
