Dosa/Dose is all time favourite food for me and our family. Dosa/idli and Indian breakfast are really healthy. There are different varieties of dosas, idlis. Rajamudi Rice is said to be healthy rice and I have tried dosa with this Rajamudi Rice and urid dal.
We normally buy this rice from Savaya K|rushi Mela which is held every month in Chamarajpet. (Rastrothana building). Rastrothana building is just behind Uma theater. You get all types of Siri Dhanya and varieties of rice, spices, oil, soap, groceries and many more things. It is nice to visit once in a month and bring at least some good food to home.
Rajamudi Rice has a long history. Rajamudi Rice was used by Mysore Odeyars (Kings) and they punish the farmers who failed to pay tax to grow this variety of rice and given it to the Kings Court. It is a healthy rice which keeps your stomach filled for a long time. It is fiber content.
