Something closer to my heart.... Yummy...Ishages has presented many types of food that we have tried and even cooked ourselves. I would like to share a dish that is very close to my heart. That would be Indian dish. Particularly South Indian. I just love the masala thosai, rocket thosai, prata, batura. Wow makes me hungry when i think about it. My mom and I went for dinner at Anandha Bhvan. The food was great loved the taste and flavour. I had Batura while my mom had her usual Ravai Thosai.. We also had the indian special Masala tea. Yummy...
This is Ravai Thosai.
This is a Batura from the overview
This is the side view. The Batura looks like a ball !
