1st PUDI DOSA
MTR, Kuala Lumpur
“A thick rice and black gram crepe topped with chutney powder and spiced potatoes, served with chutney and lentil sambar” ~ I predict that after I’ve gone thru the entire menu at MTR, this will still be one of my favourite items there. The spongy dosa soaks up all that delicious ghee while the chutney powder adds a bit of heat and dimension to the dosa. The crisp edges were delicious too and provided a nice contrast to the otherwise soft crepe. Will definitely reorder this one!
2nd MASALA DOSA
MTR, Kuala Lumpur
“Rice & black gram crepe stuffed with spiced potatoes, laced with ghee, and served with green chutney and lentil sambar” ~ Oh. Em. Ghee. GHEE!!! First off, I have to admit I was skeptical of this place when my sis-in-law mentioned it to me. I eat a lot of Indian food and rarely does something knock my socks off. This came really, really close. The dosa itself was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and already delicious on its own. The potatoes were nicely done as well. Both the chutney and sambar are good too but I hardly needed it as the dosa and potatoes were good enough for me. I’m so sorry for doubting you, SIL. I owe you a meal at MTR!
REALLY GOOD
3rd PALAK GHEE MASALA THOSAI
Thosai Cafe, Petaling Jaya
Crispy thosai made with semolina and a few other “secret ingredients” stuffed with potato masala, spinach and a host of other vegetables. Very flavourful, very good. Great service too!
4th TOMATO CHEESE SADA
Thosai Cafe, Petaling Jaya
This place makes thosai (or dosa) unlike anyone else. And with more than 70 varieties available, you’re spoilt for choice. Still not feeling the menu? Or undecided perhaps? Speak to the boss. He’ll whip up something for you based on your preference. Great food, great service.
5th PANEER MYSORE MASALA THOSAI
Thosai Cafe, Petaling Jaya
“Homemade cottage cheese with potato masala, fresh veggies and freshly grated beetroot” It’s a big serving so I would recommend sharing if you’re a small eater. By big I mean they don’t bother serving your thosai on a plate. The thosai here is served on a tray 😅. This one is a flavour bomb. A party in your mouth. I would love to order this again but I still have 68 more items to try.
6th GHEE PODI MASALA
Thosai Cafe, Petaling Jaya
Ghee masala thosai topped with special spiced powder and potato masala. Absolutely delicious. Great contrast of textures between the crispy thosai and the soft potatoes. This place never disappoints.
7th SCHEZWAN CHEESE PLAIN THOSAI
Thosai Cafe, Petaling Jaya
Homemade Chinese sauce blended with assorted Indian spices, topped with chopped onions, spring onions and cheese. Very spicy but very good!
8th ONION CHEESE THOSAI
Thosai Cafe, Petaling Jaya
This humble container cafe serves 70 different types of thosai. 70! It would take me a long time to try every single item they serve. No complaints though. The food here is good. But please have a bit of patience if you do decide to dine here as each thosai is made to order and takes time to cook.
9th SWEET CORN CHEESE MASALA THOSAI
Thosai Cafe, Petaling Jaya
These guys have at least 70 varieties of thosai on their menu, all vegetarian. I’ve tried 5. That leaves 60+ more to try. But what if you don’t fancy anything from their extensive list? Speak to the Boss Man. He’ll whip up something for you to suit your fancy! Great food here with excellent service. But please be patient if there is a crowd as everything is made to order and can’t be rushed.
10th KOLHAPURI MYSORE THOSAI
Thosai Cafe, Petaling Jaya
Spices with chilli paste, pepper, fresh veggies. Again, very spicy 😅. Go easy on the chutneys in the middle of the tray.
11th MASALA THOSAI
The Ganga Café @ Sea Park, Petaling Jaya
Dosa stuffed with a very nicely done aloo masala. Worth a repeat order.
12th BEETROOT THOSAI
The Ganga Café @ Sea Park, Petaling Jaya
Made with lots of ghee, which is always nice. Also, how pretty is that colour? 😍
13th GHEE THOSAI
The Ganga Café @ Sea Park, Petaling Jaya
Nice and crispy. Not as much ghee as I would have wanted but the flavour of the thosai is how I like it. It’s fermented just nicely, without being neither too bland nor sour. The chutney they serve with the thosai is really nice too.
14th GHEE THOSAI
Original Kayu @ SS2, Petaling Jaya, Petaling Jaya
Lots of ghee, very fattening but very good. Do let them know if you want an unsweetened version!
15th GHEE PLAIN THOSAI
Thosai Cafe, Petaling Jaya
Photobombed by Boldfinger. Again.
PRETTY GOOD
16th THOSAI GHEE
Restoran Di Naina Nasi Kandar, Puchong
When you want something light but your food arrives and it’s bigger than the plate…
