Apart from reading,traveling and coding(I am a software engineer by profession),I’d Rather Be… Eating!!!
Yes, I am a foodie… I am a vegetarian south indian brought up in Pune, Maharashtra. So I like both Udupi – Mangalorean and Maharashtrian cuisine.

Here are some pictures of homemade south indian dishes.

On my recent visit to Udupi,I got a chance to visit Mitra Samaj Cafe. It is vegetarian restaurant in Udupi, Karnataka, India. It is located on Car Street very close to the Krishna temple. The restaurant serves authentic Udupi cuisine.

The most famous dish of the restaurant is Goli Baje,a South Canara delicacy.Here is a picture of Goli Baje with chutney.I had an ice-cream called Gadbad Ice-cream.It is an ice-cream sundae that is served in a glass.It contains layers of dry fruits,different flavors of ice-cream,jelly and sweet wafers to decorate.

Here are the  pictures of Chaats and Misal Pav.
