KARNATAKA CUISINE-FIRST COURSE ROUND UP!!


We will start with the spectacular "MOTHER OF ALL" round ups of Regional Cuisine of India for Karnataka with appetizers, snacks, light breakfasts, Kosambaris, Uslis, Chutneys, masalas, shall we?!!:)

Thanks again Lakshmi for RCI and to all of you who sent your entries! Readers, if any link doesn't work or if I left out any entry(wait until after the 4th post), leave a comment with URL so I can correct it immediately. I am a mere Earth bound woman, can surely make mistakes!! Hahaha!!

Before I start on the food, Bhrathy of "Spicy Chilly" shared few photos with us of Coorg or Madikeri where she vacationed recently, a little paradise on Earth in Karnataka. Enjoy the beauty of Abbey Falls, located right in the heart of a coffee plantation before the feast! Her pictures made me nostalgic and sniffle for a while for sure!! Thank you Bharathy!:))



That would be me sitting drenched in the mist, in front of the same Abbey Falls when my parents used to live in Madikeri in 1987, few months after I got married! Can you recognize the same rippled spot of the Falls from the above photo taken in 2007? Nature never gets old, only humans do!!:D

Hi Asha,
Nimma khara chutney recipe na try madide, namma manelli adu big hit aayithu. Nanna America colleaguegoo kotte, avalu dhina keluthale, matte tandya antha. We loved it. I really admire your energy and enthusiasm, also you really make best use of the time. I have a question, how do I download all the Karnataka recipes, please advise. Is there a way to convert it to PDF document or something?

-Thanks,
Gauri

Hi Gauri, glad you tried kahra chutney. It's my fave with Ragi rotti and some tuppa on top. It's very spicy though!:D
As for as PDF file, I don't know how to do that. You might try asking Sia of Monsoon spice who is a software expert, might help you. I wold love to know how to create a PDF too, I might put my whole blog in there! Good luck, hope you can save these in PDF!:))
