Brahmins' Coffee Bar

#Breakfast #Bangalore #GourmetOnTheRoad This pillar in Bengaluru’s culinary landscape has always had only four items on its menu! For 5 decades Brahmin’s Coffee Bar has been serving up the softest idlis, crunchy vadas, and of course, thick, strong coffee in South Bengaluru. In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, Food Lovers’ Editor Kripal Amanna visits the famous coffee bar and samples everything on the menu (all four items that is), which consists of the Idli Vada, the Khara Bath, and the Kesari Bath. He also learns of the history of the restaurant and why this family-run establishment has resolved to stick to the only four-item menu they started with. GOURMET ON THE ROAD RATING Idli and Vada the idli is unbelievably soft, pillowy, and melts in your mouth with no effort! this is in contrast to the perfect crunch of the vada. the inside of the vada is almost cloud-like, speckled with slivers of coconut, chillies, and curry leaves. the chutney is spicy and slightly minty. this dish, especially the idli is a revelation! Rs 16 for one Idli Rs 23 for one Vada 10/10 Khara Bath this khara bath literally melts in your mouth. it is studded with all sorts of aromatics, fried lentils, carrots and peas for texture. with the signature chutney, this dish is divine! Rs 23.1 8/10 Kesari Bath laden with ghee, raisins, nuts, and pineapple, and studded with cloves. the sweetness balanced with the acidity of the pineapple and the toasty notes of the cashew. the astringent flavours of the clove readies your palate for the next bite. every bite is delightful. Rs 23. 9/10 Coffee a coffee, nice, strong and thick coffee. just the way it should be!
