Halli Thindi @ Bull Temple road

If u are fed up with all those masala doasa and filter kapis from dharsinis and sagars in Bangalore, still have an appetite to taste the traditional karanataka cuisines, then try 'Halli Thindi'.

This is a small food joint in near bull temple, basavangudi. They serve all the rural flavours of karnataka : ragi-roti, mangalore bajji, godambi dosa, mangalore idly, sukkina unde, sajjappa.. sound weird!!.. dont decide with the names, each one are really yummy rural dishes..

My personal favorite here is akki-roti (rice roti) and mangalore idly. Akki roti is at is best here, it just melts in to the food pipe along with the butter. Mangalore idly is similar to regular idly but shaped like a 'cup' garnished with coconut oil.

Even the regular rice bath is faboulous here. they have an array of un heard desserts, like 'sajjappa', sukkina unde, 'kobre unde' along with the laddoos and the very own kesari bath.

They have lot of items in their menu, yet to be tried by me.. but every time the sajjipa and their mangalore bajji's never let me discover something new :)

This is a great place for having a fabulous south indian breakfast or for a quick and yummy snack by evening.

I see lot ppl from distant places like jp nagar, btm.. flock here to revive their rural appetite.. of course also to have a dip with their own nostalgias

i just forget to mentions something.. 'halli' means 'village' in kannada.
