I am sitting here in the middle of Tainan City, Taiwan in a huge apartment, all by myself. Tainan city is not the easiest place in the world to find spicy South Indian Iyengar cuisine, and it is only a matter of time before I start craving after arriving here.
But as a matter of principle (and also practical convenience), I almost completely avoid Indian food whenever I travel outside India. Unless I am visiting my relatives outside India, that is. One reason is that Indian cuisine is complex hence very easy to screw up. Avoidance of Indian food cooked outside home reduces the risk of stomach upsets.
Well, the bottom line is, I am craving, and craving really hard. My craving at this point of time is for Molaga Bajji. Hence I simply decided to call my blog by that name.

Totally agree with you my friend! Even the best of the Udupis and Sarvanabhavans do not meet up to the standards of an Idli center in Chennai or Bangalore. Now I have started liking my plain dals and curd-rice more than anything else. But, still there is a little craving or say longing for home made dosa with molaga-podi.
Been there, done that, been through that. Share your grievances.
Heard there are lots of North Indian restaurents there, May be you have to change ur taste from traditional south indian Iyengar Cusine to a North Indian cusine for the time being.
All that said I agree with, Nothing can beat home (Mom's cooking)
