My older brother used to swear by the idli and beef curry combo made by some cart-chef in Madras; and he loves his curd rice with a meat curry on the side too! <br /><br />my adventures with non-cnformist food combos begin and end with banana and idlipodi sandwiches!ninahttp://www.eatwritethink.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365475580414476982.post-81604110810890928832011-03-04T20:20:22.968-08:002011-03-04T20:20:22.968-08:00I seem to have missed a lively discussion here!
I...I seem to have missed a lively discussion here!<br /><br />In my home and most homes I know, non-veg (and sweet) at breakfast is a no-no. So when a cousin went to the AP-TN border to visit family by marriage, I hear she came back gagging from the large amounts of meat served up at all three meals. I myself find the idea of meat early in the morning a bit difficult to take - not that I haven't had the odd sausage when I've travelled!<br /><br />In fact, I never realised idli and dosa were eaten with meat till I got introduced to friends from TN and Kerala in college - I never realised idli and dosa (and other tiffins) were eaten for lunch and dinner, in fact! :)srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243944393796831559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365475580414476982.post-6217181348620998942011-03-02T00:04:31.660-08:002011-03-02T00:04:31.660-08:00Love that combo...totally agree with u on South In...Love that combo...totally agree with u on South Indian thing...when i got married and shifted away from in-laws...one sunday when i made bread for breakfast...my mil aked who is sick in the house...then i said i made bread toast....hmmm...lubnakarim06https://www.blogger.com/profile/10059426730180521823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365475580414476982.post-4498366790596051392011-03-01T20:14:44.868-08:002011-03-01T20:14:44.868-08:00Hmm...that makes me think back to all the canteen ...Hmm...that makes me think back to all the canteen food I have had/seen - and no non-veg for some reason. Maybe spoilage/hygiene/cultural issues? <br /><br />I know many vegetarians in the South will not even eat in a place where non veg is also being served because of the fact that the same utensils/cooking facilities may have been used to cook both food.<br /><br />Now Mumbai, we aren't as fussy - we don't have the luxury of being fussy when you are crammed like sardines end to end :)Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676408925598600874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365475580414476982.post-71695061158964506812011-03-01T12:02:58.879-08:002011-03-01T12:02:58.879-08:00Didn't know about the Mumbai sentiment.

I love Idli with chutney or podi best though and am not sure if I will like these people better ;-)<br /><br />But yes, there is a notion that all South Indian barring maybe Andhraites and Keralites are staunch vegetarians. My 2 year stint at B'lore more than confirmed it. There were people who didn't look upon my love for egg & chicken nicely :-D<br /><br />Thank god the B'lore restaurant owners did not think the same way.Bong Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365475580414476982.post-81794030289546278742011-02-28T05:44:14.010-08:002011-02-28T05:44:14.010-08:00thank you, miri, for this great recipe and for poi...thank you, miri, for this great recipe and for pointing out that south indian does not mean "vegetarian" by default.beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18128812845273224940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365475580414476982.post-73463869736474201342011-02-28T00:50:24.083-08:002011-02-28T00:50:24.083-08:00Soma - I love eating on thalis - unmatched :)Soma - I love eating on thalis - unmatched :)Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676408925598600874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365475580414476982.post-61075194620279639422011-02-27T19:01:38.402-08:002011-02-27T19:01:38.402-08:00that plate of idli and chicken curry looks so comf...that plate of idli and chicken curry looks so comforting, may be because it is the warmth and familiarity of the steel plates and katori - I have never had idli with chicken curry!

Chicken curry with idli or dosai is just the kick for a week end breakfast. Lightly spiced but made with generous amounts of coconut milk. <br /><br />I have been (made to) working even on weekends ignoring my family.

It is, however, not ok to call all our friends from the South of Indian as Madrasi (unless we are talking about those who really are from Madras/Chennai)!
