Why is this Thiruvananthapuram eatery without a signboard so popular? | The Hindu

  • The busy Karamana junction, one of the gateways into the city of Thiruvananthapuram. Ask any one in Karamana for Thampi Annan's Kada and they will direct you to the place.
    This eatery, now over 70 years old, is a nondescript, no-frills joint without a neon signboard, or for that matter, any kind of signboard. This joint is as busy as the junction where it is located, from 5 in the morning, till 10 at night.
    Here, the kitchen never closes. The cooks and their helpers work in shifts to ensure that they open for the early risers and those who come to the city for work.
    By 7 AM, the place is filled with busy commuters on their way to work.
    So, why is this breakfast joint so popular?

    Some popular south indian restaurants in the Mumbai suburbs, near railway stations and markets had closed down.
    Some new ones appeared when many small offices banks, mobile stores etc opened.
    Most discontinued the "thalis" introducing pizzas and Chinese dishes.
    Idlis and dosas now have the Schezwan flavour option!
    Perhaps the labour for thalis and the need for air-conditioned space influenced the menus!

      Dude with all due respect I don't think you know anything about the Kerala. And that's why you're saying such statements. As stated earlier in the video the food items given in the restaurant are food items that the people of Kerala usually eat in their homes regularly as part of their staple diet. Plus you forgot about adding one more factor to the carb/weight/healthy lifestyle equation and that is work. Usually most people in Kerala are thin except those who have jobs with more sitting hours which is an increasing phenomenon.
      Plus they have pooris made from wheat flour which is totally safe for diabetics to eat.
      And for goodness sake this is a restaurant. You're not supposed to be taking your every meal the rest of your life from here. And no one is forcing you.

      And me and my family and all my known family have been eating these foods on a regular basis from the day we were born and nobody got diabetes except a few people and that too they got it in their old age when they started to take other medications and all.

      In kerala, it is pronounced as "Dosha" (ദോശ"), not "Dosa" (ദോസ). The sound "Sha" can be pronounced in two ways.
      "Dosha" (ദോശ") means the Dosa food. "Dosha" ("ദോഷ ") means bad :) ( From Sanskrit word Dosha ). So much confusing and complex language.
      Idly is prounounced as "Iddali" (ഇഡ്ഡലി). Different states, different varieties of pronunciation. Even the taste is different between Kerala, Tamil and Kannada Dosas. But I love the Dosa ( Dosha ) from all these three states ( Haven't tried in outside of these 3 states )
