We started off our meal at Thalaivar with the classic Dahi Vada and Tamarind Rasam with Poppadum. Some tapioca and banana chips were also served alongside flavourful chutneys such as tomato, mint, beetroot and peanut chutney. Next on our list was the fusion dish Idli Manchurian, which definitely brought together the best of both worlds. A special mention also for the refreshing drinks - Kokum Crush, Thalaivar Lemonade and Kala Khatta.
