Canteen Near Mangalore Railway Station

Dosa Sambar at a Canteen near Mangalore Railway Station

The orange Sambar (a type of curry) you see is not what we ate, as it has fish pieces in it. For us vegetarians they had another less colorful curry to have with the doasa.

I was browsing through the old photos and these two caught my eye.

    I wondered what SRECCS stood for – Southern Railway……Catering Services. It actually stands for Southern Railway Employees Cooperative Credit Society.Sambhar with fish, I think I am hearing it for the first time.

    I love sambar. I’m feeling hungry now. One suggestion to you. Your labels are not proper. You should have also mentioned ‘sambar’, ‘railway station’ as the labels. Open SOurce Jortal

    Prashanth, if you are still in UK and if some of your lunches are cold lunch, I understand 😀 Thanks for letting me know the name.
