rava idli

All the NRI’s who I have been acquainted with have one common thing that they crib about, “FOOD”!!!

 

And the ones who are of the types who start their day with a typical South Indian food and end it with a Curd Rice and hit the bed usually wake up with a lump of their pillow just to realize they were dreaming of having a big bite of a delicious rava idli.

 

Even though I am not a foodie (hope I have at least got the spelling right), I was worried about food for survival sake. All I want is a decent, edible vegetarian food.

I was a bit sceptical whether we get all the raw materials to cook food. 

 

It had been around 15 days since I had come here and thank god I was staying with my buddies and we would cook rice and dal or make dosa when we were really in no mood to cook a complicated dish as the dosa batter was readily available at the supermarket right below the apartment.

 

A typical weekend, we woke up late in the day at a time that would neither be called morning or evening and I don’t want to call it noon as I would feel I overslept. Right when we woke up Mr Hunger pounce on us. Vinay suggested we will order food from the hotel and dialled the number of the restaurant for a home delivery. He placed an order for Rava idli and masala dosa and to add to the excitement, he was speaking to the hotel guy in KANNADA!!! Thanks to Adiga’s who had opened a hotel in Sharjah, UAE.

 

 

 

The other day we went out for lunch and was ebbed to see a board in KANNADA on the door of Adiga’s which read “suswagatha” meaning Welcome. Hats off to them, for taking us back to Bangalore in each nibble of the delicious typical Bangalore style food.

 

To add to the list are other hotels “Kamath”, “Dwaraka”, “Sukh Sagar”.

“Saravana Bavan” & “sangeeta” from Chennai

“Bombay Chowpati” and “Bademiyya” from Mumbai and many more

 

Whoever said getting “Bhel Puri” abroad is almost impossible, should come to Sharjah.
