Prepared from a fusion of three lentils – bengal gram, green gram and toor dal, this nutritious snack is a sure-fire crowd puller on Saturdays, when it features on the menu. The South Indian dish that derives its name from the tawa in which it is prepared, is tinged with hints of ginger and red chilli that make every bite worth savouring.

Price: Rs. 20 per plate

Bottomline: Saturday Scene-Stealer
