The idli has a bit of a tart edge that benefits from mingling with the thenginakayi (coconut) chutney. Rs. 52 (usd 0.7) 8/10 Poori Saagu If you’re looking for a filling snack, this would be it. Three pooris accompany a vegetable saagu, the veggies retain their crisp crunch, if you’re looking to perk things up, combine it with the chutney that has a sharp green chilli edge. Rs. 50 (usd 0.7) 8/10 Benne Masala Dosa This butter-drenched gold-hued dose is blessed with the perfect gentle crackle. On the palate, one tastes the lushness of the homemade butter that envelopes every bite of the dose, the palya and the chutney with its delicious veil. If you need one reason to visit CTR, this would be it. Rs. 57 (usd 0.8) 10/10 Set Dose An exact opposite to the buttery masala dose, the set dose is almost austere. It’s spongy texture though makes it the perfect medium to soak up the flavours of the vegetable saagu and chutney. If you’re looking for a healthy dosa fix, this would be it. Rs. 52 (usd 0.7) 8.5/10 Kesari Bath Dripping in ghee and topped with toasted cashews and raisins, the grainy kesari bath almost melts away when placed in the mouth. The cashew provides an element of nuttiness and the raisin, pops of sweetness to this semolina preparation. Rs. 29 (usd 0.4) 8.5/10 Coffee A fitting end to a meal here.
