I’ve never been a fan of Indian food – with the exception of cheese naan (which I was told recently wasn’t traditionally Indian – what a disappointment!).
Beverly and Lisa however have been raving abut their favourite Indian place in Crows Nest, Malabar, so in the spirit of trying new things, I agreed to come along for some new flavours.
I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food – although I shouldn’t have been surprised since B & L are usually right when it comes to good restaurants. I was also pleased by the variety of vegetarian food on offer.
The interior – very dark unfortunately which made it not optimal for taking photos.
Colourful menu.
The house specialty is Dosai – B & L have been raving about it for a while now so I had to try it out.
The Dosai – a thin pancake wrapped around lightly spiced potatoes. Very, very tasty.
Hello there Lisa!
Patti Samosas – filled with spiced potatoes and peas.
Malabar Paratha – some kind of fried doughy bread. Delicious!
Bev in food heaven.
Nomming isn’t always a graceful thing.
Dessert – pistachio ice cream.
I can’t remember what this was called but it was a dessert with cottage cheese I believe, deep fried into dough somehow.
We adjourned to Bev’s house afterwards for ferret play and internet surfing.
The ferrets REALLY want to get on Cute Overload … “Ein, get out of my WAY!”

Love the peeking Lisa pic, LOL!
That was sooooooo damn good! I’m definitely getting the No. 3 Dosai from now on. Heehee, and it was big enough to look through it!
