No one can eat just one Sri Karpagambal Kabali Sweets Stall, Mylapore

Cout your blessings if you manage to find parking. Then, consider yourselves doubly lucky if you can snag some medu pakodas. A local favourite for 45 years, this stall begins frying the pakodas at noon and by 2.30 pm, it’s all sold out. Two or three batches if 200 pieces each are fried everyday. We position ourselves outside the stall as the cook starts mixing ingredients, elbow-deep in batter. A determined crowd of regulars gather. Some buy onion pakodas for the wait. An elderly couple helps themselves to a handful  of garlic sev while waiting for their tea-time snacks is  undr way.as soon as it is on a tray, three staffers begin counting pakodas (Rs.2.50) and dividing them into paper bags, before handing them into the out-stretched hands of eagers customers. Crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, these deftly made snacks are addictive
