Street food is a huge part of my life. I live very far away from my office, which means I have to eat out pretty much every single day. The cafeteria at work is screw-all so it's street food all the way... I decided to take the office cam out to record my lunch today and here is what I ate... I'm having a Mysore Masala Dosa with cheese. When you're done, grab a camera and go out and show me your town / city / country's street food.

These are the guys who are making the dosa...


First the batter goes on. It's made of rice and pulses that have been ground into a paste with water and left overnight to ferment and rise. (You can add yeast to make it rise faster)


The batter gets spread like so...


Until it looks like this


Next up: onion, beetroot, tomato, coriander, two kinds of chutney and shitloads of butter


Spices are added - sambar (a kind of pulses-and-spice sauce) powder, and salt


MORE butter! (yum)


Now the fun part - the goop is all mashed into a paste...


Until it looks like this...


Then the cheese is added


... and mixed in as well.


(The chef lets it simmer while he moves on to another order)


You know its ready when the sides start leaving the pan


Time to fold...


and cut...


and serve!! (with two kinds of chutney and sambar)
