Kesari Bath Recipe-Karnataka Recipes
Thanks to everyone for your continuous support and encouragement. I wish & I hope 2016 would be much better by God’s grace. I am happy to start this New year post with Karnataka’s most popular Sweet, Kesari bath recipe.
In most of the hotels, kesari bath & khara bath are served together as “Chow Chow bath” for breakfast. I have tasted this kesaribath in brahmin’s coffee bar and many popular restaurants here. My Kannadiga friends make Kesari bath with milk & banana and offer it as prasad for Satya Narayana pooja. I will try to get that recipe from my friends and share it here.
I usually make Rava Kesari following my MIL’s fool proof recipe adding less ghee and more water. Yesterday for our New Year celebration, I tried Kesari bhath (Sooji Ka Halwa in Hindi) in Karnataka style adding more ghee and water. It came out really well and got credits from my family members. I was extremely happy to see the ghee dripping Kesari bath just the way it is served in hotels.
Actually I wanted to serve in a banana leaf but i couldn’t get it. So I clicked it by keeping it in a banana leaf plate.Soon I will make Chow chow bath and post it with a good picture.
Lets see how to make Karnataka Kesari Bath Recipe with step by step pictures.

Akkaravadisal (Akkara Adisal) Recipe - Iyengar Recipes
Navratri is starting from today. I hope most of you would be planning to make some sundal variety along with Sakkarai pongal for today’s neivedyam. Every year we make paasi paruppu sundal and sweet pongal for first day. This year for a change I tried Iyengar special sweet pongal recipe with milk popularly known as “Akkaravadisal/Akkara adisal”. Iyengars make this for Koodaravalli festival during tamil month Margazhi. The term Akkaram is a literary word for Sugar or jaggery and the word Vadisal is a descriptive term for cooking by steaming or boiling.
Starting from this explanation till the recipe I have shared here are shared by my school friend Sumi Raghavan who is a Tamil (Iyengar) Brahmin.Whenever I look for Iyengar recipes, my first hand source is Sumi. She is so sweet to share her traditional recipes with me. Based on her recipe and method, I started to search for more ideas on net. You could find different recipes for this akkaravadisal. Some people use sugar candy ( Kalkandu) or sugar to make this sweet pongal. Some add equal amounts of jaggery and sugar. But I followed the recipe of my friend which is more of temple style.
Actually I came to know about this akkara adisal from a priest in Thirukannapuram Perumal temple. He told us that every morning nearly 12 ladies prepare this akkaravadisal in a wide bronze pot ( Venkala paanai) adding lots of ghee and serve it as kovil prasadam to all the devotees during Margazhi month. Though I couldn’t taste the prasadam,I was able to feel its taste from the way he explained. So I badly wanted to try and share this recipe in my blog. As he told, the taste of this creamy pudding like Akkaravadisal was truly flavorful & very rich in taste. Don’t hesitate to add the amount of ghee mentioned here. Ghee and the edible camphor(Pachai karpooram) are the star ingredients of this recipe.
So here you go authentic Iyengar style akkaravadisal preparation with stepwise pictures. Do make this for Koodaravalli and Navratri neivedyam and offer to God !!

Sabudana Vada With Chutney Recipe / Javvarisi Vadai / Sago Vada
Sabudana vada with peanut chutney is one of the most popular vrat / fasting dish in North India. Navratri is around the corner. I am sure most of you would look for no onion no garlic fasting recipes. Sago/Tapioca pearls(Sabudana in Hindi, Javvarisi in Tamil) is considered to be one of the most important ingredient used for cooking vrat recipes.
People usually make Sabudana khichdi, Kheer in North India and Javvarisi Upma, Payasam in South during fasting days either for breakfast or for dinner. I always wonder why sabudana is consumed on Vrat days even though it is high in carbohydrates & Calories. I browsed few websites and found some health benefits like Sabudana gives quick energy. It is very easy to digest & gives a cooling effect on the system. It is quite low in fat, protein and does not have any minerals or iron. So milk, peanut & potatoes are added with sago to increase its nutrtious value.
Basically I love sabudana kheer /Javvarisi Payasam prepared with sugar or jaggery more than other sabudana dishes. But this year during this Navratri festival, I wanted to explore varieties of sabudana recipes. So I started with Maharashtrian style Sabudana vada/Sago fritters and made a quick video along with step by step pictures. Even though I tried it for the first time, its result made me felt as if I am making it regularly at home.
Yes, it came out super crispy and tasted great with this easy peanut curd chutney. This chutney is one of the best side dishes for sabudana vada as mentioned HERE. I too loved this combo very much. I have tasted sabudana vada only once in GOLI VADA PAV outlet. But its taste and appearance was completely different than this one. I will try to experiment that vada and post it here.
Now lets see how to prepare Sabudana Vada recipe for Vrat snacks. You can try shallow frying or Air fry it for diet version. Serve & eat it hot to enjoy its best taste !

Anjaneyar Kovil Milagu Vadai | Hanuman Temple Vada Recipe
Anjaneyar kovil vadai/Hanuman temple vada is something very special than our usual urad dal vada with pepper. Its crunchy taste and its awesome pepper flavor makes anyone fall for it. More than all, it’s a special prasad prepared in temple kitchen/madapalli and offered in the form of Vadai malai for Anjaneyar. Prasadam given in temples always tastes great and unique with its own flavor. To mention specifically, Chennai Nanganallur Anjaneyar temple vadai malai is most famous in Tamil nadu.
Generally South Indian temples are famous for its puliodharai, sakkarai pongal and vadai. Most of us try to recreate Kovil puliodharai and kovil vadai at home. And if we get the taste close to temple version,we feel very happy and excited. I too got the same feel when I made this Anjaneyar temple vada successfully and that too in my very first attempt. I used to try temple puliogare very often in my kitchen but I couldn’t match the taste which was very disappointing for me. But when I prepared this vadai malai for Purattasi sani thaligai last week. I was completely satisfied with the output. Anyone even a beginner can make this crispy vada if you follow the steps carefully. So lets check out how to make this Hanuman temple style pepper vada with step by step photos.
