I needed to buy a hard drive at Staples* so I stopped here for a late lunch/snack. The table next to me ordered a butter chicken and biryani. I went with a Masala Cheese Dosa for $13.99. At that (high) price, I could have had a meat or seafood dish but I really wanted a dosa. In fact, I decided recently that I should learn to make dosas at home so that we could all enjoy them without spending $100.
My dosa arrived promptly - even before my neighbours' order. At first sight, I started to feel happy. Then, I smelled it. Very happy now. First taste of the crispy dosa and curried potato filling. In Nirvana! Learning to make my own dosa? Fuhgeddaboudit!
I overheard my neighbours asking the waiter about my order. I told them what it was and mentioned that it was delicious. The man exclaimed, "I know! I had it last time I was here but couldn't remember the name so I couldn't order it!" He, he. Felt a little sorry for him but just a little.
* Btw, the Staples store is many kilometres away. I just needed an excuse to get my dosa fix.
