Went for an early breakfast with a dear friend at MTR and decided to order something light this time. The neer #dosai ($6) didn’t have much flavour but had a nice chewy texture. Some of it stuck to the plate though (I’m a slow eater). It comes with coconut chutney and a yummy mixture of jaggery and grated coconut which I later found out, contains “traces of ghee” :(
I emailed them and they told me that a lot of the items contain traces of ghee, which I guess is unavoidable because they use the same tawa for cooking. Here’s what I found out:
Sambhar - Contains ghee
Coconut chutney - No ghee
Shavige bhath - Contains ghee
Rice #idli - No curd
Rava idli - Contains curd
Mangalore buns - Contains milk
Vada and palya - No ghee but may contain traces of it.

Thank you very much for checking. I have always find it VERY unavoidable to have ghee/dairy in indian food. That's why I'd rather don't eat it to save the messing about although I quite love idli, sambhar. Was told some idli contains yoghurt.
Another fellow vegan(in India) told me that even when all is labelled vegan and you tell them no ghee no dairy whatnot, it is unanavoidable that they add a splash of ghee just before serving, by force of habit/automatic action.
Thanks for your info! I will definitely try when there is a chance. I really had many experiences with confused servers in the indian eateries in SG so I get very tired of trying already haha. So it's good to have first hand info from you.
The fellow vegan is not a friend but the boss of a small vegan eatery in Delhi😁 I happened to chat with him about the vegan concept in India and he shared with me about that knowledge. I guess he is very used to reminding food handlers to omit the ghee and dairy.
