The vegetarian food festival on the shores of Malpe displaying the age old cuisines of traditional Udupi was indeed a crowd puller on Sunday afternoon.
The beach food festival was organised by District Youth Brahmin Parishat as a part of the Parishat’s silver jubilee celebrations.
The food buffs from across the city had a fun-filled weekend tickling their taste buds with varieties of traditional dishes that are hardly served during recent days. The lengthy queues before the food stalls showed the interests of the people to taste traditional cuisines in the era of North Indian dishes, Chinese and other varieties of transcontinental dishes.
Traditional cuisines of Udupi were displayed. Cuisines like “sevige kurma”, “gunda menskai”, “mude kodekena”, “biscut rotti”, “avalakki pulav”, “pundi gatti”, “bisibelebath”, “pathrode”, “sheera”, “halbai”, “sukurunde”, “goli baje”, “maddi”, “balehannu rasayana”, “mavinahanu rasayana”, “hesarubele payasa”, “chattambade”, “thuppa dose”, “masala dose”, “yellu juice”, “buns”, “dry jamun”, “halasina appa”, “nippattu”, “ebbula rasayana” and “tomato bath” were all part of the menu. These mouth watering, lip smacking delicacies were available at the cost of Rs 10 and Rs 20 to the visitors.
Youth were seen in large numbers and more interestingly they were mesmerized with the items like “ebbula rasayana” “maddi” “halbai” “gunda menskai” “mude kodekena” etc, which they said they had never heard of before.
Pavana, a localite said “it is a pleasant change to taste something different. We rarely get all these dishes to taste and it is also rarely prepared at homes. I feel I have entered a different culinary era” she said
Pizzas, Burgers and pastas were sidelined for at least some hours especially by youth this weekend. Definitely these people had a slice of incredible India through traditional dishes that were served and also displayed in a traditional way.
Food festival was inaugurated by Shiroor mutt seer Sri Laxmivaratheertha Swamiji. Cultural programmes were also part of one day beach food festival.
