Let me start with 2 pieces of information:
1. I HATE standing for hours in the kitchen trying to make stuff, so much so that I will (without much muttering) eat the occasional chalta hai type food from my cook, as I know what an effort it is, and how much I would suffer without her :).
2. I take awful food photos, so the following one does not do it justice :(.
Though we're not much of a tiffin at night kinda family, I decided to try it tonight for a change. Now I hate to keep the dosais in the hot case, and then find them warm but all soggy, so even though my maid came and went as usual, I just HAD to stand over the stove, and make them all hot and crisp and ready to eat :). They're even better when they're super-thin, get really crisp, nearly stick to the iron tawa to get all those browned and lovely flavours!
The accompaniments were ghee and sugar for the kids (don't know when they'll enter that chutney/sambhar phase!), and some yummy Thengaipodi (coconut lightly fried with some dals and spices and then powdered) made by mom for me. Also some steamed broccoli so that the kids do not miss out on the veggie component ;).
