Dosa Heaven

If you love food, like I do, Phnom Penh is a wonderful city to live in. Soooo many great restaurants serving food from all over the world; Lebanese, Japanese, Russian, Italian, Chinese, Thai, French, Maroccan, Spanish, Mexican.... I think that the only kitchen I haven´t seen represented here so far is the Ethiopian.

Most restaurants are doing home delivery as well. I´ve completely forgot how to cook. Or, I´ve rather found a new way of doing it; I´m taking out my plastic folder that contains all the home delivery menues that I´ve collected during my year here. I´m going through the menues carefully, but will most likely finally pick the same Indian restaurant as usual. I´m making a phone call, placing my order, stating my adress and voilá - 20 minutes later there´s a delicious Indian meal on my plate. That´s the art of cooking, folks!

Some of you might be familiar with my passion for Indian food, and when I first moved here I was very happy to find that there are plenty of good, very good, Indian restaurants here. And tonight I´ve made a new discovery on the Indian restaurant scene here in Phnom Penh; "Dosa Corner" on street 51. It has only been open for a couple of months, but the rumours has started to spread that they serve the most delicious dosas. And I can only agree - Dosa Corner should be named Dosa Heaven!!! Mmmm...!!! The taste sent me 15 years back in time, to Kerala in southern India where I was doing my very first study trip to Asia. At the village project where I was studying, the wonderful Mitraniketan, dosa was served no less than three times a day, and you had to be careful not to over eat it. But now, after visiting "Dosa Corner", I´m certainly facing the same risk again. I´m just happy that I don´t have to make the dosa myself. It´s soooo much easier to just pick up the phone... :-) But if you would like to try, here´s a master to learn from;
