Minerva Tiffins has reopened in a new spot in the city’s east end, well-suited to its growing customer base.
During the pandemic, I spent a lot of time eating through the Golden Mile. The strip of Eglinton Avenue East from Victoria Park to Birchmount seems to be in a constant state of dining flux. It feels like there are new restaurants opening every week, in freshly minted plazas reshaping the once industrial Scarborough neighbourhood ahead of the LRT line launch.
At Minerva Tiffins I found comfort in dishes that were prepared the way a mom or aunt would make them at home. A plate of ven pongal, for instance, a breakfast common in households in parts of South India where rice and mung daal is cooked with cashews and other nuts, cumin and an array of other spices. A warm porridge that will brighten even the most sullen mornings.
This is why Ajay and Natasha Reddy wanted to keep their business in the area. “The food court was a great opportunity for us to launch our business, but we really want to be able to entertain guests,” said Ajay. A unique item on the menu, pesarattu, is something I have never seen before at restaurants. It is similar to a dosa, common in the southeastern coastal region of Andhra Pradesh, where whole green gram is used to make a viridescent crepe that is stuffed with a very fine layer of cooked semolina wheat. It is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
