Unusual SALEM IDLI, ONION DOSE | DOSE MANJANNA, A Son’s Tribute, Father’s 48-Year Street Cart Legacy

#Bangalore #IdliDosa #GourmetOnTheRoad
Dose Manjanna, Must Try Salem Idli, Butter Idli, Onion Open Dosa, Mysore Masala Dosa, Jayanagar, Bengaluru, Vegetarian, Street Food
Manjanna ran a popular street cart for 48 years in the South Bengaluru suburb of Jayanagar selling only three or four dishes, dose, idli and vada, earning him the moniker, Dose Manjanna. His son, Ganesh, seeks to keep alive his late father’s legacy in a tiny shop, aptly named Dose Manjanna, serving a smattering of traditional and some accidentally inspired creations, like the buttery, spicy Salem Idli. Concocted on a cold, rainy night, when his store had run out of hot idlis, in a bid to acquiesce to a customer’s demand for hot food just prior to the latter’s boarding a bus for Salem.
In this #gourmetontheroad episode, Food Lovers’ editor, Kripal Amanna tastes the Salem Idli, a scrumptious ghee onion dose and a couple of other tiffin treats that has Jayanagar’s denizens crowding this eatery at all times. Hope you enjoy this episode.
SALEM IDLI
This Idli roasted in butter, sings the flavour of the butter with the spicy, grainy crunch of the podi. Eat it piping hot, just off the tawa. When it cools down, pair it with the spicy hurigadale (fried gram) chutney.
Rs. 20 (usd 0.3)
8.5/10
Butter Idli
Thatte idli roasted on a hot tawa over melted butter, with lashings of butter and served with a dollop of butter, this is sheer decadence. The idli loses some its fervour as it begins to cool, and that’s when you taste its slight tartness.
Rs. 20 (usd 0.3)
8/10
Open Onion Dose
Served folded, this crisp, kadak dose was the highlight for me. Dripping with ghee and butter, smeared with chutney podi, a generous sprinkling of moist, crunchy onions, this dose is flavourful enough to be eaten on its own. The chutneys served alongside play a distant second fiddle to this open onion dose.
Rs. 40 (usd 0.6)
9/10
Mysore Masale Dose
The masale is smeared into a paste with chutney podi, butter and onions as the dose is roasted on the tava. I expected it to be robust in its flavours, however the potatoes seem to tone down the aggression of the chutney podi, making this a gently-spiced bite. Mix together the gram chutney, chutney podi and butter that’s served alongside, and combine with the dose to savour a spicy mouthful.
Rs. 40 (usd 0.6)
8/10
Shavige Baath
The shavige baath here is light, fluffy and springy, tossed in a chitranna or lemon rice masala. Studded liberally with peanuts, fried lentils, flecks of green chilli and roasted curry leaves, it makes a gentle yet persuasive impression on the palate. If you like it spicy, enjoy it with the smokey tomato-red chilli-roasted gram chutney.
Rs. 30 (usd 0.4)

*The recipe should have been named as "Hurry Worry Curry Idli" instead of Salem Idli because the customer was Worried about the Idli being cold + was in a Hurry to catch his Bus + wanted lot of Curry - Hot & Spicy(Gun Powder on his Idli). This would have been a international hit like chicken 65 story.* PS: Could have added some cheese on it too. 👍👌 *Great Video. Love from Chennai, Tamilnadu. Please do make videos from other states of incredible India, specifically the north & north east. 🙏* Maybe you can contact the restaurant and rename it as *"Hurry Worry Curry Idli".* 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I am a person who has seen street food culture start in 1966, 67 .It was born in bylanes of Bangalore silk shope street Near avenue road with two Idli dosa push carts. Within 20 years, whole Bangalore boasted of such carts and hole in the wall eateries with great taste. Loved this spisode .Keep them coming.

You know what's the best part of your narration is you pronounce the 'Dose' as 'Dose' and not 'Dosa' as most of them do. Makes us relate to the food so much being localites..

Great innovation. It seems masala dosa was invented to allow orthodox vegetarians to eat onions without being seen doing so. Cocktails were invented in the US during Prohibition to let the customers of bars to be able to drink alcohol without showing it. Mutton roll was invented when a customer asked for a kebab and paratha, but asked for it to be wrapped up together in Calcutta's Nizam's restaurant. My friend, Mr Jayashankar crumbles left over idlis, fries them in butter with dry powdered masala, and low, you have an interesting masala flavored snack

What i really like about this channel is that they don't promote a restaurant for money! Kripal visits eateries/restaurants most of the times based on recommendations. Very few KZbinrs do that, they instead promote restaurants and rate them 10 on 10 - not because of the quality / the taste of food but because of the money the restaurant owner has paid. I hope you keep making more such "unbiased" videos, promoting good taste!
