So they have dedicated staff in Madurai who just peel onions and send them across. I was told that Peeling them is quite a task. They use only small onions for the uthappams. Only a few know about the monotonous work that goes into delivering the perfect uthappam on your plate.

ItвЂ™s extremely popular too and sold out very soon. You shouldnвЂ™t miss ordering а®ља®їа®±а®їа®Ї а®µаЇ†а®™аЇЌа®•а®ѕа®Їа®®аЇЌ uthappam (Small Onion). Honestly, you donвЂ™t need any accompaniments to have. I assume they literally dip Idlis in Ghee and then topped with Podi. ItвЂ™s one of the Signature dishes at Murugan Idli Shop. Ok, done with Idli! What next? Podi Idli вЂ“ Yes, you heard it right. While enjoying with these accompaniments, you will certainly look for waiter to order a couple more рџ™‚ Not just chutneys, they also served Molagaipodi with Ghee and Delicious Dal Sambar. Beauty is that, they served multiple chutneys like Tomato, Mint, Coconut. It was soft, fluffy, steaming hot and non sticky. Safe bet is always Idli, so we ordered Idli. Ever smiling waiter came to us and said вЂња®Ћа®ІаЇЌа®Іа®ѕа®®аЇЌ а®¤а®Їа®ѕа®°а®ѕа®• а®‰а®іаЇЌа®іа®¤аЇЃвЂќ (Everything is ready) We were at 8am I believe and place was emptied on Saturday morning surprisingly.

I really donвЂ™t understand the concept of serving South Indian food on those yellow & red plates. But, the plantain leaf on plate bought some hope about the place. I wasnвЂ™t so convinced looking at those Cafeteria Tables, plastic Plates and massive dining area. Yes, itвЂ™s a chain of restaurants spread across Chennai, Madurai, Singapore, London and few outlets on Major highways connecting Tamilnadu.ДЄn year ago, I have visited the one in Bangalore вЂ“ Chennai Highway (Kaveripakkam). Today, I would like to talk about another must visit place thats Murugan Idli Shop, Madurai Based. These are undoubtedly best places in Chennai. I have tried most of the good old places like Ratna Cafe, RayarвЂ™s Mess, Karpakambal Mess, Palmgroves, Woodlands and recently Kayyendi Bhavan. Being a frequent traveler to Chennai, I am very particular about where to eat and what to eat! I prefer mostly the South Indian food precisely old Madras Style food whether itвЂ™s for breakfast or lunch.
