Our waiter, Rao, saw that we were rattling around ignorantly in the menu and stepped in, almost apologetically, after we had ordered appetizers. Decoding becomes easier after a dive into Indian cookbooks. You learn that masala is a general, and infinitely variable, term for spice mixture. Dosai is a type of pancake. The chutney, in this case a yogurt and coconut blend, is on the side.
Many dishes are salty and oil is liberally applied.
Rather than play a la carte roulette, diners may want to take advantage of set menus, or thali,which present compatible dishes, from appetizers to dessert, all on one tray. Still, we enjoyed our shots in the dark. Dasaprakash 2511 W. Devon Ave. Most recent review Phil Vettel's 2 star review of La Petite Folie.
