This food post is specially for the NON-VEGETRAIAN LOVERS !
Konar kadai at Madurai is very famous varieties of kari dosa, egg dishes , porotta and non veg dishes ! Particularly people visit this place specially for the the kari dosa. Kari Dosa is made of Dosa batter i.e. rice batter , egg and mutton sukka/chichken. Kari dosa is served in traditional banana leaf with curry (Kurma in Tamilnadu) . This dosa costs around INR 160 - 180.
you will find the roasted lamb inside the dosa with spicy curry with egg. I was early waiting for my dosa to be served in my banana leaf. I had a bit of dosa with kurma. Kari dosa tasted yummy and delicious ! Spicy too !
If anyone visited south Part of Tamilnadu, dont forget to have this yummy kari dosa !
P.S : This restrauant is with limited seating space and mostly crowded. There are no reservations available in restrauant.
It’s certainly a specialty in Madurai. But this Dosa need to be made very carefully as the mince and small cubes of meat potrude from the batter level and get in contact with the hot plate, while turning it down. This will result in over cooked and meat get burnt.
I have experienced it and that’s why I says this over here.
Thanks for posting this great write up on South Indian Authentic Food
Thank you for sharing about the famous local cuisine of Madurai. This dish looks delicious. I am not a big fan of a lamb meal but I really like to try new food so if I have a chance I will try this one.
I can understand what you are saying. But in this case its not over burnt. The curry surrounding the meat cubes are burnt in the tawa. Did you experienced this in konar mess ?
I was in Madurai this January and tried Kari Dosa. Somehow it didn’t taste as good as it should be. Meat pieces were sticking out and burnt. When I was studying in Delhi long ago we used to get a mutton dosa that was heavenly and the trick was the minced meat or keema. If meat pieces are uneven then the end result could be bad.
Thank you for your comment. You should have tried it out it konar mess in Madurai. What you would have tried at Delhi might mutton keema dosa of keeping the mutton keema over the top of the dosa. But kari dosa is entirely different from mutton keema dosa. I suggest you not to compare something different from the other. However the different dishes tastes differently and it wont taste as you expect . These just my humble suggestions.
You are right probably the comparison between mutton keema dosa and kari dosa is far fetched. Next time I am in Madurai I will definitely try Kari dosa at Konar mess.
