![]() So if it has been a few years (or many) since your last deep fried food fix, why not head down to Little India and visit Murugan on the bustling Syed Alwi road? It is most popular for brunch but is great for any time of the day. But this is not a concern at Murugan as they use ata in none of their breads. Yum! I would normally be a bit wary of Dosai in case the fat it is fried in has been used with something containing wheat flour. Murugan Idli Kadai is a pure vegetarian restaurant. (Murugan, a Tamil name, is Tamil’s God/Tamil Kadavul). Murugan impressed us by mixing in a generous amount of pumpkin (higher flavor, lower GI) with the potato. Murugan Idli Kadai is an Authentic and Traditional Tamil Nadu based restaurant which is famous for its Idli, Podi Idli, Medhu Vadai, Masal Vadai, White Paniyaram, Chutney Varieties, etc and many more items. My favorite at Murugan is the Masal Dosai, an impressive looking crunchy tube of rice and lentil flour that I was too ravenous to photograph, traditionally served with curried potatoes inside. The Idli itself is a steamed rice dumpling and is quite delicious. The Hindi word for wheat flour is gehun ka ata (or just ata). The good news is, there is no wheat, rye, barley or oat flour in any of the breads, which means there should theoretically be a 0% contamination risk! I am quite confident of this as the friend I went with speaks Hindi so was able to check for dangerous ingredients for which the staff may not have known the English name. Murugan serves only South Indian breads with chutney. Last week I visited Murugan Idli shop in Little inda.
