This post is a part of the main post that was made for Karnataka with the theme – Indian Food Odyssey where we visited 30 Indian states and Union Territories as a part of the Mega Blogging Marathon April 2014…
I invited my fellow bloggers to my house[virtually of course] and cooked a dish for each meal of the day….
For lunch I will be serving a dish that is a hot favourite and very
common dish – Huruli Saaru.[ Huruli is horse gram in kannada].This
popular gravy can be eaten with steamed rice drizzled with ghee or with Ragi Mudde which is a common breakfast dish in rural Karnataka.
Let us move on to our lunch menu…..
- Salt
- Lemon pickle
- Majjige menusu / Uppachidha menisinkai – Sun dried chilies fried in oil.
- Kobbari pudi and sesame oil – Lentil and dried coconut spice mix
- Happala – Pappad
- Alugedde Palya – Potato Curry
- Tomato Bhath – Tomato rice
- Steamed rice drizzled with Ghee
- Molake huruli Kaalu Saaru – Sprouted horsegram gravy curry to go with rice
- Bellulli Saaru – Garlic rasam
- Majjege – Butter milk
