Whispers Beneath the Stars

Chapter 3

June, 1998, Bangalore

Khushi sat in the cyber café, the familiar whirr of computers and the slow dial-up connection filling the air. The flickering glow of the monitor cast soft shadows on her face as she waited for her friend to come online. Today had been particularly exhausting—Amma had been relentless, and Chikkamma had come over, bringing with her the usual tension wrapped in well-meaning words. They had tried to build a bridge, something that would help them cross the sea of grief they shared, but it only left Khushi feeling more lost in the waves.

She stared blankly at the screen, her thoughts still lingering on the conversation at home. Why can’t it ever be simple? She sighed, rubbing her temples. Chikkamma didn’t like her much—Khushi knew that. Yet, somehow, there was always a plate of neer dosa waiting for her. It was Chikkamma’s way of trying, even if her words were sharp. The thought of it made Khushi smile, despite the exhaustion weighing on her heart. She hadn’t wanted today to be another one of those days. But it was.

As she leaned forward to rest her chin on her hands, the ICQ beeped, breaking the silence of her thoughts. A message flashed across the screen from her mysterious online friend.

Skybound: Uh-oh, has my Cinderella fallen asleep on me again? Do I need to kiss the screen to wake you up?

Khushi’s lips twitched into a smile, her fingers hovering over the keyboard before she started typing.

OceanBreeze: No need for the kiss, but I may have lost my glass slipper somewhere between the neer dosas and Chikkamma’s lectures.

The banter between them had always been easy, like the wind tugging at a kite, pulling her away from her world for a few moments. Even though they’d never met in person, this connection felt like the light she needed on her darkest days. He sometimes called her Cinderella—a nickname that seemed to fit more than she wanted to admit.

Skybound: Neer dosa AND lectures? Wow, living the high life, aren’t you? Is Chikkamma secretly a fairy godmother in disguise?

Khushi let out a soft laugh, rolling her eyes at the screen.

OceanBreeze: If she is, I want a refund. All she’s given me is extra chores and the ‘be more like your mother’ speech.

Her smile faded slightly as she typed the last part. She paused for a second, staring at the blinking cursor before Skybound’s reply popped up.

Skybound: Ah, the infamous ‘be like your mother’ spell. One of the most dangerous in the book. Lucky for you, I’m a certified spell-breaker. I’ll send my magic broomstick over if you need rescuing.

Khushi couldn’t help but laugh out loud this time. She loved how he made her feel light, even when the world seemed so heavy. She typed quickly, her fingers flying over the keys as if eager to continue this little escape.

OceanBreeze: Broomstick? Please, I’m more of a pumpkin carriage kind of girl. Don’t downgrade me.

His reply was instant.

Skybound: Pumpkin carriages are overrated. Broomsticks are faster. Plus, I figure with all the neer dosa you’ve been eating, you’ll need the extra speed.

OceanBreeze: Excuse me, neer dosa is a delicacy. I’m practically weightless.

Skybound: Sure, sure. I suppose you’re going to tell me you’re an actual princess now too?

She grinned, feeling the tension slip away even more as she leaned back in her chair. The knots in her chest loosened with each reply, and for the first time that day, the shadows that had lingered over her heart began to recede.

OceanBreeze: Obviously. Didn’t you get the memo? Princess by day, neer dosa connoisseur by night.

Skybound: I knew it! I should get your autograph when we meet. Do you make royal visits, or is that too much to ask?

Khushi’s fingers hesitated over the keyboard as she read the words. When we meet. The thought tugged at her, stirring something deeper inside her—a mix of anticipation and nervousness. They had been chatting for months now, and yet, there had been no talk of meeting in real life. Part of her liked the mystery, the distance. But another part…another part wondered what it would be like to see him, to hear his voice. Would he be as charming as he seemed online? Would she laugh this easily in person?

Would he like the real her?

She shook her head, pushing the thought away. This was enough. This was safe.

OceanBreeze: Only for special occasions. You’ve been mostly tolerable, so I might make an exception.

Skybound: Tolerable? I’ve been downright charming. Admit it, I’m the best thing to happen to you since neer dosa.

Khushi smirked at the screen, shaking her head. He was right, of course—these chats were the highlight of her week, even if she wouldn’t admit it.

OceanBreeze: Hmm, you might be right. But the jury’s still out.

Skybound: Victory! Now, back to the important stuff. What’s your plan for tonight? More lectures from the royal council?

Khushi’s smile softened, her fingers hovering over the keys. The world outside the café felt so far away. She glanced at the other people around her, everyone lost in their own screens, and then looked back at the chat.

OceanBreeze: I’m free for now. Thanks to you. Who knew a pumpkin carriage could be so useful?

Skybound: You’re welcome, Princess. Anytime you need rescuing, just say the word. I’ll be there with my broomstick.

Khushi closed her eyes for a moment, breathing deeply as her heart lightened. The day had been long, and her thoughts still swirled with the weight of her family, but for now, in this little corner of the world, she was laughing. She was free.

OceanBreeze: Deal. Just promise not to turn me into a pumpkin at midnight.

Skybound: No promises. But I’ll do my best.

With a sigh of contentment, Khushi leaned back in her chair, smiling as their conversation continued. In this chatroom, with her Skybound, she wasn’t the girl caught between Amma’s grief and Chikkamma’s subtle disapproval. She was just a girl, laughing, joking, and escaping into a world where anything—pumpkin carriages, broomsticks, and magic—felt possible.

Dosa Delights: Exploring the Many Varieties of South India’s Favorite Crepe

Introduction:

Crispy, golden, and irresistibly delicious, the dosa is a beloved South Indian classic that has transcended regional borders to become a global sensation. Whether you enjoy it plain with chutney or stuffed with flavorful fillings, there’s no denying the versatility and sheer joy that dosa brings to the table. What makes dosa even more exciting is the sheer variety — each offering its own unique texture, flavor, and twist on the traditional recipe.

In this blog, we’ll explore the wonderful world of dosa, taking a closer look at some of the most popular and unique varieties!

1. Masala Dosa: The Classic Favorite

Masala Dosa is the king of all dosas! This traditional favorite features a thin, crispy dosa wrapped around a spiced potato filling, often served with sambar and coconut chutney. The combination of the crunchy dosa and the soft, flavorful potato masala creates a perfect balance of textures and flavors. Originally from Karnataka, masala dosa is now a popular dish across the world.

Pro Tip: Enjoy it with ghee or butter for an extra touch of richness.

2. Rava Dosa: The Instant Delight

For those who are short on time, Rava Dosa is a quick and easy option. Unlike the traditional dosa batter, which requires fermentation, rava dosa is made using semolina (rava), rice flour, and water, making it an instant recipe. It has a thin, lace-like appearance and a crispy texture, making it an absolute treat for those who love crunch!

Best With: Serve with spicy onion chutney or tomato chutney for an added kick.

3. Paper Dosa: The Giant and Crispy Marvel

True to its name, Paper Dosa is paper-thin, crispy, and often enormous in size! This dosa is rolled up into a large, thin cone or cylinder, making it a visually impressive dish. While it’s usually served plain, you can pair it with any chutney, sambar, or even a light masala filling. It’s the ultimate choice for dosa lovers who appreciate that extra crispy crunch.

Fun Fact: In some restaurants, paper dosas can be over a meter long!

4. Neer Dosa: The Soft and Delicate Delight

Neer Dosa is a popular variety from the coastal regions of Karnataka, especially Mangalore. Made with just rice and water (hence the name “neer,” which means water), this dosa is soft, white, and paper-thin. It has a delicate texture and is typically served with coconut chutney or fish curry. Neer dosa is light and easy to digest, making it a perfect breakfast or light meal option.

Pair With: Coconut-based curries or chutneys for an authentic coastal experience.

5. Pesarattu: The Protein-Packed Powerhouse

Originating from Andhra Pradesh, Pesarattu is made using green gram (moong dal) instead of rice, giving it a unique flavor and a high protein content. This healthy dosa is often served with upma (a savory semolina dish) stuffed inside, creating the famous Pesarattu Upma combo. It’s perfect for those looking for a nutritious yet delicious dosa alternative.

Healthy Twist: A great option for health-conscious eaters looking for a high-protein meal.

6. Set Dosa: The Soft and Fluffy Dosa Stack

Set Dosa is a softer, thicker version of the traditional dosa, typically served in a set of three smaller dosas. It’s fluffy and spongy, with a slightly tangy taste due to the fermentation process. Set dosas are usually served with vegetable saagu (a mildly spiced vegetable curry) or chutney, making it a filling and satisfying meal.

Perfect For: Those who love a softer texture with a side of creamy or curry-based accompaniments.

7. Onion Dosa: The Spicy, Flavor-Packed Treat

For a burst of flavor, Onion Dosa is a fantastic choice. This dosa variation involves finely chopped onions, green chilies, and sometimes cilantro sprinkled over the dosa as it cooks. The result is a spicy, savory twist that adds a delicious crunch and a punch of flavor to every bite.

Tip: Try it with a tangy tomato chutney to elevate the experience!

8. Cheese Dosa: The Ultimate Fusion

For those who love a cheesy twist on their traditional dosa, the Cheese Dosa is a modern fusion favorite! As the dosa cooks, generous amounts of grated cheese are added on top, melting into a gooey, delicious filling. This dosa is perfect for kids or anyone who enjoys a fusion of Indian and global flavors.

Best With: Serve with a side of ketchup or mint chutney for an extra zing.

9. Ghee Roast Dosa: Rich and Buttery Indulgence

Ghee Roast Dosa is a special variety made by spreading ghee (clarified butter) generously over the dosa as it cooks, creating an ultra-crispy, rich, and buttery experience. This dosa is especially popular in Tamil Nadu and is often served with a variety of chutneys and sambar. The crispy, golden edges and the fragrant aroma of ghee make it a mouthwatering treat.

Ideal For: Those who love indulgent, buttery flavors.

Pro Tip: Add a sprinkle of black pepper and cilantro for an extra punch of flavor!

Conclusion:

Whether you prefer it crispy, soft, spicy, or filled with delicious surprises, there’s a dosa for every palate and occasion. From the traditional Masala Dosa to the modern Cheese Dosa, each variety showcases the endless versatility of this beloved South Indian dish. So, next time you’re in the mood for dosa, why not explore one of these exciting varieties?
