Trigger warning: traditional South Indian foodies may find the contents of this article difficult to digest. In Bandra’s Mary Lodge by Subko, the soft, fluffy thatte idli has been re-imagined as pizza, sandwiches, bagel, eggs Kejriwal and other iterations. As the new menu at the café invites a mix of amused and confused reactions on social media, this writer dropped by to review this latest addition to the city’s manic, endless list of fusion fare.
This project by Subko is titled: Re-imagining the Idli. The special menu includes idwal: eggs Kejriwal x idli, idwich: makhani sandwich, idwich: lamb sandwich, idzaa: pizza x idli, idgel: bagel x idli, and three other traditional options in podi idli. When we reach the café, we are directed to the first floor for dine-in. Here, eight thatte idlis are prominently displayed in the front row, alongside regular pastries and sandwiches. After placing our order at the counter, we found a seat near the balcony. We noticed an installation near a window pane: it’s a wet grinder where a note reads: Subko thatte iIdli batter meets sourdough starter. The note further states how the machine is used to create the idlis. We like that this project is trying to create an immersive experience.
