I really got addicted to the idiyappam which my mom made me yesterday.I couldn't stop eating actually and my mom had to yell at me to stop eating it :(.Idiyappam is my favourite food.
Idiyappam+egg curry=heaven

Great another "MUST __________ recommended by DIGITIANS" thread. I used to eat Idiyappam (different name is Bengal) with mutton curry during my childhood days.. Now I'm Lacto-ovo- vegetarian.. :p

raw eggs with/without milk, add honey to it.
WTF? :eek:

Bhurji, both for veg and non-veg people. Veggies can try paneer bhurji and non-veg people can try egg bhurji. I am sure there will be more people like hitboxx and Filled-Void, who haven't heard of bhurji.
Then there are people who haven't heard of vada pav.

My fave

Chicken Schezwan noodles + Chicken Amritsari [mix them together before serving/eating] [spicy]

appam with chicken stew [pleasently mild ]

Vindaloo curry + hot steamed rice [hot hot hot]

Kolhapuri chicken with rice/ roti [hot hot hot]

chicken farcha in tomato gravy

basically me a total sucker for all hot and spicy non-vegetarian food ['cept fish]

Bhurji......egg bhurji

+1
nothin bets the divine feeling of eating bhurjee with bread/pav at 3 in the morning from a roadside shack

raw eggs with/without milk, add honey to it.

^ever tried Palada Pradhaman? tastes Godly! :p

I likes Appam + Kozhi/Mutton Curry(kerala syrian christian style ofcourse).

vegetarian , likes masala dosa etc (udupi/chettinad Iyer style).one think I started love to eat is "Kaalan Manjurie" Coimbatore Style!so tasty!(many taams here will know that ?) .

then ofcourse ,pav bhaji! :D

80% of the diet used to be non-veg(infact non-veg is what is common in kerala).now slowly shifting to vegeterian diet.but...still Rice+karimeen Fry Kottayam style means....mouth watering!

True. And some people are shocked that I go out at 4 a.m. to eat bhurji. It's awesome fun to sit with friends at night at Churchgate station and have tea/bun maska/bhurji
