 Hello Readers,

 Famous food of Karnataka 

Mysore Bonda

Mysore Bonda is a quick, easy and tasty evening snack made with maida (all-purpose flour), rice flour and curd, there is no need to soak and grind like vada batter, or no need to cut or boil vegetables like aloo bonda or vegetable bonda. It is a perfect teatime snack, crispy outside and fluffy inside. Mysore bonda goes well with coconut chutney, coriander chutney, and tomato chutney.

There are varieties of bondas available all over India like Mysore bonda, ulundu (urad dal/black gram) bonda, aloo (potato) bonda, mixed vegetable bonda, keerai (palak) bonda and even egg bonda with boiled eggs. All are crispy and fluffy evening snacks, most of the bondas are made with besan(gram flour) or chickpea flour. Bonda is majorly known as ulundu bonda which requires more time to soak for 4 hours and grind, etc. Mysore bonda is a popular snack item in Karnataka and Andhra, there is no soaking and grinding for this bonda.

Generally, Mysore bonda is made with maida and rice flour, if you want to make it healthy you can replace maida (all-purpose flour) with atta (whole wheat flour) or you can use 50:50 ratio of maida and atta. You can add some vegetables like carrot, peas, potato, cauliflower(finely chopped). After mixing the batter you can keep it up to 2 hours if you have time. Finally, fry the bondas on medium flame. otherwise, bondas may become brown outside and will not be cooked inside, it will take a few minutes to cook.

Karnataka Culture - Know about tradition

Mysore Dasara

Dasara or Navratri is a widely celebrated 10-day-long festival in India but the Mysore Dasara celebrations definitely step it up a notch. Chamundeshwari, an incarnation of goddess Parvati killed the demon Mahishasura during this period to mark the triumph of the good over evil.

In 15th Century, the kings of the Vijayanagara empire started the practice of celebrating it with a lot of show and pomp. This tradition has continued till this day and Mysore Dasara became the state festival of Karnataka. The Mysore Palace is lit up during this period with a hundred thousand bulbs and there is a carnival-like atmosphere across the city. The highlight is the ninth day of the festival (called Mahanavami) when a massive procession with elephants and dancers is taken out in the streets of the city. There is also an exhibition organised by the state with joy rides, clothes/handicraft stalls and food counters.
