Konar Mess Kari Dosai


The first class of an Academic year for the freshers start with a self introduction, Ironically I introduce the freshers to the culinary on what they study for all three years, but then, in between I ask the students about their home town and hear Nagerkoil, Salem, Erode, Ooty, Coimbatore, Madurai and many. When I hear the word Madurai I make a stop and say a very few things about Madurai, tough I have not been to madurai, until recent times , I say a few things for unknown reasons
The American College(started in the year 1881), Thiagarajra College ,Fatima college, places like subramaniapuram, that puram this puram and many people in Kollywood, with poets, actors, artists and good good politicians(NO Kanth), ahhh I remember that very much ..I, who voted last time in Nilgiris will rather fry my fingers in hot hot oil than to dip my finger in voters ink in the coming electoin,what a shame - Rotten Politics/politicians.(I am from Nilgiris - enjoying 3g in Coimbatore , wish you know what 2g is)* Rotten also has one more meaning which starts with the letter R

A month ago I watched a tamil film "Myna" which starts with a scene where they plan to join for lunch in Konar mess in Madurai for its famous kari doasai(mutton dosa), After three hours the movies had a sad ending, the more saddest part in me was, they neither showed Konar mess nor the Kari dosai. A week after the movies, The sad in me faded away when I made a visit literally to Konar mess in madurai for its Karidoasi.

Unlike the movie, where they plan for lunch. I made it for dinner, and was there on time to witness the tawa full of Kari dosai, I did not opted for the menu , just settled for kari dosai, The dish is like a miniature Uttappam with meat topppings, A cup of batter is poured on the tawa, then topped with beaten eggs and cooked mutton chops, the entire uttappam is turned upside down and cooked for another couple of minutes, the result an awesome
dish with delicious taste ,Apart for then u have Malli Idli(jasmine idli)Biryani, Idiyappam, varieties of dosas, and many. I asked him for all the accompaniments .Of all the mutton chops and onion gravy married well with the taste of Kari dosai, No wonder one will get addicted to it when you taste once and perhaps u 'll sign a legal document of all your asset (if any) to the taste of kari dosai. Next time when you are in Madurai Forget not the simmakkal Konar Mess Kari Dosai..
