Heaven's Indian Curry (Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre)

Light and fluffy in the middle and crispy at the sides!

Everytime I am nursing a cold or feel unwell , my comfort food is always this thosai.

It’s crisp on the outside but retains a nice soft spongy texture inside .

Filled with well marinated potatoes and accompanied with 3 types of sauces.

The flavours just explode in your mouth.

This Beats a French crepe anytime . . .

My very first appam and it got me hooked instantly for the fluffiness and softness at its center and crispness around it. I thought it would need some curry to go with it but the orange sugar and shredded coconut were more than enough. If you like cheese, you can go for the princess appam which has a slice of cheese melted on its soft center.

The first time I was attracted to heaven’s was because of its signboard.

Why heaven’s ? I finally found out today ....after chatting to the friendly stall owners .

The masala thosai is so perfectly done. I can only give it full marks. Slightly crisp ( because I requested for It) on the surface and moist with the right balance to flour to the masala potato filling ratio , every bite took me to the heavens. Accompanied with 3 in house made sauces ( 2 curry based and 1 with coconut and herbs), the flavours were exploding in my mouth .

Because thosai is made of fermented rice flour , it has a unique tangyness and is said to be more easily digested - with its health benefits and yummilicious taste profile - it’s really a heavenly food .

For those of you who are less familiar with Indian food , take this along the lines of a crepe - only that it is much better because it’s lighter and more clean tasting . You actually don’t feel as heavy as you would if you had a French crepe .

I also added on an order of appom which is a disc like crepe with a slightly fluffier and doughy centre - that’s slightly chewy . Paired with coconut shavings and sugar , this was really really lovely . The appom reminds me slightly of the huat kueh - like the orange and greens ones you get from bangawan Solo just that the appom has a slight crisp on the exterior .

If the above plus points are not enough, the masala thosai at 2.50 and the appom at 2 dollars for 2 just makes it all the more better.

I can’t wait to visit this stall again . ...

Crispy edges all around with a thick and spongy centre, topped with an oozy egg and a slice of melted cheese?! This Princess Appam worked really well on its own, but even better with the mix of orange sugar and grated coconut. It was a mix of tangy, savoury and sweet flavours, hitting all the right notes! #BurppleYoungHawkers

My parents told me the Ah Gong I never got to meet asked for thosai as he breathed his last, so this dish has a place in my tummy, and heart.
