Perhaps it was the fond memory of having breakfast with AR's family the first time a few years ago; or perhaps it was just the lovely taste of savory thosai that enticed me. Either way, I enjoyed this breakfast heartedly.
They (Ar's parents) laughed when they learned that I enjoyed thosai. They understood, however, that it was the simplicity of the meal and the welcoming gesture that I was silently after. Afterall, a breakfast with the family is just as important as the dinner.
Or maybe, they assumed that as a Singaporean girl, I would be expecting better dining options. Not at all.
How can I resist Thosai? The pancake with spicy condiments.
Masala thosai- lovely curry potatoes encased in the thin pancake. Notice the sauces served. cooling yogurt/spiced mixture, dahl and curry sauce.
Rawa Thosai-the sinful one among all the thosai(s). The addition of vegetables did not make it healthier. Hot oil and ghee was poured on to the side of the thosai as it cooked. The crisp texture made the calories worthwhile.
An extremely satisfying meal. Any visitors to Malaysia must not miss this.

I just had a good piece of thosai in California last week! So yummy! There are many indian eateries here due to the indian population...so it is quite authentic.
