An array of colourful traditional Indian sweets (from $1) fill the stall’s food display case, but their savoury offerings are also worth a try. The idli and vadai set ($3.20) comes with three pillowy rice cakes, a small vadai, and three gravies that are the perfect spicy accompaniment to the mild tang of the fermented rice. The vadai differs from the chewy versions more commonly available – it uses a fermented rice batter similar to the idli, and is surprisingly not greasy at all.
Their putu mayam ($2 for 3 pieces) sells like hotcakes, so go early to get your fix.
