If monsoon is the season of snacking then Karnataka has some of the crunchiest, most flavoursome snacks you can ever eat. Here are some such monsoon-special Karnataka snacks to try.
This is a crispy and flavorful delight made with a blend of rice flour, semolina, all-purpose flour, onions, green chilies, and curry leaves.
Also known as Mangalorean Bajje, this beloved monsoon snack is made with all-purpose flour, yogurt, and spices like ginger and green chilies.
Mirchi Bajji, a close cousin of Rajasthani Mirchi Vadas, is made with stuffed large green chilies, dipped in a besan batter before deep frying.
Nipattu is made with rice flour, gram flour, roasted peanuts, and spices like red chili powder and cumin into thin, disc-shaped treats.
Prepared with urad dal batter, infused with ginger, green chilies, and curry leaves, these deep-fried dumplings offer a burst of flavors.
Patrode, made with colocasia leaves smeared with a spiced rice and lentil paste, is quite like Gujarati Patra.
Also known as Vadagam in some regions, Sandige is made with various ingredients like rice, lentils, and vegetables mixed with spices.
These deep-fried treats are made with rice flour, roasted chana dal, and a blend of spices like red chili powder, asafoetida, and cumin.
