Use Your Hands

After checking my calendar, my self-imposed 6-week hiatus from Indian eats was up. So I went over to Madras Masala for some South India on Sunday. With the expansion of Banjara, this spot next-door was really feeling squeezed. But it was still getting enough customers to make a go at it.

I ordered a madras masala dosa which is a dosa that has been pre-cut into edible slices. On the downside, you don't get the the visual wow factor of an enormous Indian crepe arriving at your table. On the upside, the potato filling oozes out of every bite and you can eat each piece like a spicy pizza slice. With the stuffing fully wrapped, it's also a lot less messy. But you still have to eat with your hands for the full appreciation.

So I was side-eyeing the table over where they were eating their dosas with a knife and fork. Talk about missing the point. Also, being think and flaky, it looked to be more work trying to spear the crumbly pieces with the inferior fork.
