Chutneys

Passed (the somewhat newly opened) Chutneys on Road No. 36, Jubilee Hills (, Hyderabad) today while running an errand and made up my mind to get back to eat here.

It was 11 in the morning when I got back in (and I expected the place to be empty - however, it turned out to be nearly full, but possibly the day being the V-Day had something to do with it.) And before there is any speculation on this, I was (unfortunately) alone.

The prices on the menu were high, but given the locality, and possibly the quality, I should have expected it - Rs. 89/- for a butter masala dosa, 35/- for a coffee, plus 12% tax (and tips).

Six types of chutneys were placed before me. Sambar was poured into a container from a transparent plastic mug. A smallish masala dosa with a big lump of white butter on a very decent stainless steel plate with a banana leaf over it was then brought.

Decent sambar, well-cooked potato-onion masala, decent dosa, and fine yummy butter were individually adorable but the combination of dosa with the chutneys was really heavenly.

The chutneys - urad dal, peanut, tomato, ginger and spicy coconut were all superb; the plain rich white sweet coconut sheer delight.

The coffee, while perhaps not heavenly, was nothing to complain about. This was, however, large in quantity as well, unlike the dosa.

Lucky, I was, to get into this and not 36 Jubilee or Santosh Jubilee for my breakfast. Next time is time to try one of their specialities - this includes Babai idlis, MLA Pesaratus, and so on.
