South Indian

Dindigul Talapakatti restaurant near city square mall. Chicken biryani made with the short grained fluffy seerga samba rice which has a flavor different from the basmati rice used in North Indian biryanis. The ground spice mixture the biryani was cooked has a slight peppery taste which doesn’t make it too spicy. Came with two drumsticks so good for sharing although the rice quantity is good for one. Came with a gravy which was pretty good and an onion-curd mixture which I felt was too dry to have with the biryani. Would have preferred a raita. Also ordered egg curry (10SGD) which was really good and wheat parotha (5.5 SGD for a pair) which was a chewy disappointment. None of the dishes felt too greasy or oily. Would come back to try some of the other dishes, although noted that their vegetarian menu doesn’t have a lot of variety.

Absolutely love this dish, rice flour ‘rotis’ delicately flavored with green chilies, jeera, onion and curry leaves served with coconut peanut chutney. Only available Tuesdays and Fridays dinner and often sold out if you get there late. This dish usually takes more time to be served an indication that’s it being prepared authentically. Other honorable mentions - boonda soup, rava dosa and the ragi onion uttappam

[6 SGD] ragi dosa, perfect combo of crisp on the edges and soft inside. chutneys were good too especially the dry coconut one. Feels like homemade food
