The cafe I mentioned is around the corner from a fascinating Indian temple:

The Udipi Cafe is apparently always packed with Indian diners, both locals and visitors. I guess they ought to know! 🙂

Southern Indian cuisine has quite a bit of flourlike stuff that’s made without wheat, and a lot of vegetarian variety. Some of the grain is fermented, which gives it a zippier taste.

There’s a southern Indian restaurant near my neighborhood in the burbs of Pittsburgh (the Udipi Cafe) and people are crazy about it.

The other selling point is the fact that this dish is apparently wheat-free (only lentils and rice in the pancake). I have a couple of celiacs in the family and I’m always on the lookout for new dishes for the gluten-challenged.

Maybe just on Saturday though, I’m not sure. I do recall they were pretty good, though my wife insists no northern Indian could *possibly* cook good south Indian. Not sure how far it is from you, but you could try Dosa Temple in Ashland for south Indian. We used to drive out there from Brookline once in a while.

It’s just a few miles from the Mass Pike so I used to stop there often when driving from Western Mass to the Boston area or vice versa.

There was a substantial snowstorm in early October 1987 in Berkshire County. It then warmed up quickly, so we had snow on half-turned leaves with summer-like temperature a couple days later.

I remember that chef. He looked like he was straight from India and had great concentration. He was an absolute genius of cooking. I have had many masala dosa since. in a vain quest to find one as good as his, and although I’ve had some pleasant ones none can compare to those of the Annapurna.

How can I get an invite to his widow’s apartment 🙂 ?

I married into their family. the head chef passed away in ’94, his wife lives in my in-law apt, and still cooks a mean Masala Dosa.
