Description:
On MLK Holiday - I was in the mood to see "Hotel Rwanda" - but we took a nap and missed the film. So we did dinner at the Udupi Palace in Takoma Park. They have a branch in Chicago and I recognized it from a Medill Broadcast project. During our broadcast production quarter - we had to find something in Chicago/Evanston that our professors didn't know about. Then we had to produce a SOT-type package...with interviews and b-roll. A year before, one group produced a video project on the Udupi restaurant on Devon. They showed us how the chef created these yummy Dosai dishes - they looked like crepes...but it's made with rice dough stuff. After watching the package - I had a craving for dosai. I tried some in Berkeley - back in the summer. Good and filling. Now, on MLK - my dosai craving returned and I tried the paneer dosai - the India crepe stuffed with homemade cheese and bell peppers. It's light and the cheese reminded me of an omlette dish. We also had pakoras for starters - breaded veggies. I tried a chilli pakora - the first time I willing bit into a chilli. My mouth didn't explode and it had an interested, biting taste....kinda like when I have a nacho cheese craving...without the cheese. The Udupi Palace serves pure veggie cuisine and it's sure to fill up the empty stomach. I was disappointed with the chai...but I guess I'm used to the super sweet tea served at Naan in Curry on Telegraph. So, I'm always expecting my chai to be sweet....still, I can always add sugar. Mark's India coffee smelled great. I didn't want to sip any of it. I didn't want to stay wired and awake that evening.
