Thindi Beedi..(Burp!)

“VIVAHA BHOJANAVIDU HAHAHAHAHA” do you remember this song? Well I’m not writing this post to describe that song, but to introduce a place which is a paradise for food-o-holics! If you’ve already scrolled my blog, you must have got to know what I’m describing about. Its none other than the very famous, centrally located, THINDI BEEDI alias FOOD STREET alias BAKASURANA BEEDI. If you have already been there then you might have already started thinking about Dosas, bonda, bajji, vada pav, etc, control yourself, there’s lot more to come.

To begin with, this place lies parallel to V.V Puram Jain College road, or reach Sajjan Rao Circle and ask anyone, they’ll guide you. I’ve been frequent visitor of this place for 2yrs now, and let me guide you properly so that you can have best time or memorable evening over there(6.30pm to 10pm). Go in a gang of 5 or 6, make sure others aren’t in a diet and pass comments when you hog. If I’m not wrong, this street stretches for about 500m and the stalls are located adjacent to each other and aroma of different kind of food might drag you to the respective stall.

The golden rule is that, never give order for more than 2 or 3 plates for each dish. Share it among yourselves. This starts from VB bakery and ends at the corn shop. If you ask Connoisseur, i.e. Me, start off with Bisi Bisi masala Dosa. Walk down the street and find a stall which will be crowded ordering for Dosas. You can watch the person who is making dosas, he spreads out the batter in concentric circles and takes a packet of ghee and spreads it around. You’ll be delighted when you see the dosa turning into red which indicates its crispness. Once you bite into it, the ghee oozes out from every pore of this delicacy but tastes so heavenly, that you instantly pardon all the evil that this humble dish has been cursed with.

If you walk down further you can see BAJJI and BONDA stall. I bet you don’t want to miss that. It aint any ordinary Bonda, its made with Dodda Mensinkayi(capsicum) and Balekayi which makes its taste splendid. He cuts into 3 or 4 pieces and puts masala (onion, coriander leaves, sev, lemon, etc) so enjoy sharing this with your friends.

Now it’s time to have some desserts. I’m referring to Jamoon and Jilebies, without which your adventure here in Food Street is never complete. It doesn’t cost more than 5 or 6 bucks. It’s better to spend here rather than giving Rs.15 for parking in forum that to with time constraints.****, sorry for that. Many of my friends don’t try this amazing entremets like Obbattu. It’s fantabulous and I strongly advice you to taste it. It’s made on the spot itself, with lot of ghee on it and when he gives you, it will be hot just like the slag taken out of the furnace.

If you aren’t still filled, then try few Pav Bhaajis and Vada Pav. Believe me, its much much better than you find in some hotel where he charges you 30bucks.

Once you’re through with this, walk towards the corn cart. Close to that you will find your finale point. The last shop on your left. Order for a ‘Butter Gulkand Fruit Salad with Ice Cream’. And finish it all with a Masala Pepsi, a jaljeera of sorts, and probably the only new age offering on this side of the planet. If you are a Foodie, then go you wouldn't be in front of your comp by now. :P
