By south Indian fare, I only mean apna roz ka dosa, uttappa, idli aur upma.
I have never, ever, in my whole life, had such awesomely tasty upma or such wholesome and heavenly dosas.
I can die now.

Jumbo King and the likes have revolutionized this little snack from Maharashtra, forever.
They have come up with never before thought of variations to this snack and maintain high standards in terms of cleanliness, storage and packaging.
Creative pricing too has helped to convert and bring in the common man into the net.
A good fusion food, with mouth watering chole and tangy sauces.... Umm.....Yummmyyy......Right?
Noo !
Absolutely wrong !
Why would anyone... or rather, how could anyone like to distort a perfectly delicious, spicy, spongy and wholesome snack?
Why would one like a Szechwan Wada Pav when the normal Wada Pav offers a perfect taste of hot potatoes, garnished with the most perfect orange chutney and a teekhi hari mirch?
Just why do we morph and dilute delicious things to make them sooo cosmetic ?
Phew. Come what may, I just cannot imagine having a paneer wada pav when I can get my hands on a scalding hot, traditional, road-side, Desi Wada Pav !
Now that's pure yummmm....
While there was not much info. coming my way on this query posed earlier, my friend Lakshmy sent across this
It throws the much required light on why curd shouldn't be consumed at night. Better reasons than most sites that offered a blanket no-no.
Thanks lady !
It's been a week now !
Yet to find an answer to the "caution" by a well meaning friend -
Don't eat curd at night.
Why?
(With an air of knowledge) Don't you know? Ayurveda says so !
(I, sounding dumb) Achha? I didn't know that...kyun? kya buraai hai?
(With exasperation) Why do you ask so many questions ! Just stop eating it ok ! Not good for your health ! Aage teri marzi...
I hate conversations that end with...Aage teri marzi
It makes me sound like a petulant child who doesn't want to listen while the other party seems to come out as a saner and maturer voice !
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I love to eat yogurt - any and every time of the day.
Now, after this friend's argument I did set out to find reasons for not having yogurt at night.
All articles commenting on Ayurveda did advise against consuming yogurt at night. However, none threw any light on the reasons.
I would be very much obliged if any of you guys have an iota of information on this apart from the usual - raat ko thand lag jaayegi
Waiting in anticipation....with a cup of yogurt to devour...
