Minerva Tiffins

Masala Dosa

A wide, lacquer-thin crepe wrapped around spiced potato filling, served with coconut chutney and sambar that's sharp with tamarind

Idli

Cloud-soft steamed rice cakes with a proper fermented tang, best eaten dunked in the house sambar

Medu Vada

Crisp-edged fried lentil donuts with a yielding center, served as a pair — the textural contrast with idli makes the combo plate worth ordering

Filter Coffee

Proper South Indian decoction — strong, sweet, and finished with a dramatic pour between tumblers to build the signature froth

Paper Roast Dosa

The showpiece thin-roasted dosa — nearly translucent at the edges, cracker-crisp throughout, and an order of magnitude more delicate than the standard version

Pongal

Rice-and-lentil porridge seasoned with black pepper, cumin, and ghee — deeply comforting and available only at breakfast

Uttapam

Thick, pancake-style rice cake studded with onion and tomato — a milder entry point for diners new to South Indian tiffin
