For the love of coffee!!

  There's something about this time in the morning, sipping over my extra strong coffee and with the cool wind blowing in my face. No, I'm not writing a romantic story today. Coffee gives me this nostalgic feeling, college days, new bikes, all the freedom, chilly mornings and the urge for something hot. Which place would you find open at 7am in belgaum? Ajanta, RPD.  This one's dedicated to all you veg eaters.
  I's a 8km ride for us through the enchanting camp roads, if there's anything that takes your eyes away from admiring all the greenery, it's the freeze-you-to-death weather. After all that torture your skeletals took up, it's time to treat them with something hot- hot cuppa ajanta coffee. I love to sit at the table facing the glass wall, you don't miss all the action happening outside. Morning bikers having bad crashes due to overspeeding, the elderly out for their morning walks, teen guys waiting to have that first look of the day at their crushes and ofcourse the waiter coming and displaying his memory skills to you. Idli, kurma puri, missal, masala dosa that's all that I remember of the 10 or so dishes that he summarises.
  I like to be consistent at my order with cofffee but switch between what I choose to eat. It's sometimes the fluffy idli with that oh-so-delicious sambar and chutney that I choose to have or It's the missal at ajanta. The missal has it's name rightly acheived, chakli,uppit,chuda,shev,kurma name it and it's there in the missal (it means mixture). This is one dish that will get your mouth watering anyday anytime.Another dish that romances your palate is the kurma puri. Just outta the hot bubbling oil, those puri's are to die for. The kurma is no less, we always ordered for an extra bowl.



  If you are a dosa lover then this place serves lip smacking dosas too. Finish it up with that freshly made instant coffee and your taste buds have had a happy start for the day.
