Mysore Panch/ Street Food Spectacular

I met a fellow New Yorker who bragged about his knowledge of a night street full of delicious street food, in particular the Baddam Milkshake. I met a woman at Odanadi who read a script that I wrote and we decided to film it with her as the lead actress. This naturally happened right up to the minute of my departure. My last night in Mysore I made myself take a trip to "Chat Street" .

I started with vegetable stirred fried noodles, a Chinese Indian Fusion Food that has become popular . They were hot, oily, and delicious. 

Next my companions graciously shared bites of their selections, yellow rice with peanuts and onion Pakora with Coconut Chutney and pickled young Mango, a bitter delight.
Next the three o us decided to split a Ragi Dosa just so we could order from the coolest cart on the block. Ragi Dosas are made from rice and lentil flours like regular Dosa, but they have onion and sometimes tomato added in. You can ask for no oil which transforms it into one of the healthier street food options.

Finally we got to order our much bragged about Baddam Shake.

I am  rare creature that does not like ice cream or ice cream products. I don't hate it, but if I choose sweets I tend towards chocolate or baked items. I adored this shake and immediately regretted not ordering two. I did not let this known to my companion and proposed that I knew of an equal sweet contender within walking distance.
