The world's most perfect junk food
I thought the south Indian tiffin couldn't possibly get any better. I was wrong. The forces of globalization have created in Chennai the world's most perfect junk food: the cheese dosa. A paper thin rice flour crepe folded around a salty cheese filling. Served with sambar and three kinds of coconut chutney (!!!) at the Sangeetha Hotel near my house.

How much does one dosa cost? Do you usually get one or two?
I'm so jealous. There's a Hotel Saravanaa Bhavan on Lexington Ave in Manhattan but I don't go there enough! If I could have a dosa a day, I would truly be in heaven.
Dear Sansmerci -- thank you so much for reading and for commenting! I will look at chennai.burp.com. Alexa -- one cheese dosa is expensive (relative to everything else on the menu at Sangeetha's): Rs. 60, or a little over a dollar. I eat one. Or most of one. The thing's such a greasebomb, I can't even finish it. Claire -- I have a dosa a day, but I hope that heaven is better than this. I live across from a mosquito infested canal that carries more sewage and garbage than water.
so you're taking me here when i come visit. where else should we go?
