Aditya Veg - Neer dosa and paddu

If you are not sure what a dosa or paddu means, I have tried explaining it at the end :)

While returning from work, all of us were hungry and decided to eat something. Satish suggested paddu for a change from the usual Masala puri. There's this place called Aditya Veg in Jayanagar 4th Block which he has been talking about for sometime now, and I was very happy since Satish knows more than a thing or two about food and if he recommends a place so much, it has to be good.

We went to the one in Jayanagar 4th block, on 5th main, coming from 4th Block, come down the Jain temple road, left turn towards Maiyas', this place is right next to it. It is a small darshini kind of place, but nice and clean. You have to either stand and eat or probably can sit in your car, there is no seating there.

We ordered paddu (a delicacy popular mostly in Karnataka and also in Andhra under its telgu name), the guy told us it would take 15min!!! Going back without eating was no option, so we decided to order something else to kill the time...the unanimous recommendation was neer dosa, this is dosa made from rice only(no uddina bele) batter fermented overnight, it is extremely thin and delicate and is very light and tasty to eat. Neer dosa is served with grated coconut+jaggery and coconut chutney...it is a superb combination and is lip smackingly delicious.

By the time we finished eating the neer dosa, the paddu was ready and this is served with two chutneys, one sweetish, red chutney, and the other is a normal coconut chutney. This was very good, I would say neer dosa is the highlight of the place.

Seeing the menu..or rather the board displaying the eatables, this place seems to have everything from chaat to neer dosa to baby corn manchurian to parathas!!! The neer dosa costs Rs 22 and paddu also around the same I think.

I learnt from Satish that the same guy has opened a bigger restaurant also named Aditya Veg infront of Ranga Shankara in JP Nagar which has good seating etc, I have not been to the place, but Satish assured me that the food is exactly the same!

I cant believe that having lived near J'nagar for so long, I had missed out on this place...better late than never, am sure I will keep visiting the place whenever am in the area.

Dosa is very similar to pancakes and paddu is small spherical shaped batter(rice and pulses soaked, ground and fermented) shallow fried, and both are eaten with chutney.
