    Nice Theme of South Indian dishes. Had my breakfast IDLI, VADA , DOSA at south Indian hotel at Angul and taken a parcel of UPMA for my CHUM and eager to have Roti in Lunch hour. Thanks for the e-dishes. Thank you Incognito. All the four grids are A1. Have a good day.

    3D. a DA (district attorney) is not a lawmaker!

      2d With 'strange' as Anind, initially I thought 'rodent' is part of the fodder. Then realised the Anagram applies after the Deletion! Nice Wordplay.

      TUT is King Tutankhamun. IN - Indian I - Island

      Indian:in
      King:tut
      Island:I

      But i can't see any context where intuit replaces recognise!
      Agree they are sub-cat of Understand but it would be like equating male and female to be synonyns because both are human! (

      This is what Free Dic.says- To know or understand by intuition: "The child bore his infirmity bravely ... yet may have intuited that his days were numbered" (Virginia Spencer Carr).

      Intuit can also mean recognise - https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/another-word-for/intuit.html

    Today it felt like I hadn't left my kitchen.
    @ Paddy - Kishore could have added HOUSE WIFE/COOK too.
    @ Col - Lovely pic.
    @ Kishore - Nice grid. Specially liked - Vigilant, Startled & Lariat.
    For me too INTUIT was last to fall.
