How people eat them

Chutney pudi, the dry chutney powder, turns a plain rotti or a bowl of hot rice into a meal: dip the rotti in a little oil or ghee, then in the powder. Masala khara is the crunchy, spiced mix kept in a tin for guests and for chai time. Shenga holige is the sweet stuffed flatbread that many Karnataka households make for festivals.

Start with jolada rotti and sajje rotti and one of our chutney pudis: together they are a complete north Karnataka plate.

We find them, we don’t make them

We look for each snack where it is made and buy it from local makers; we do not make the snacks ourselves. Origin district, ingredients, allergens, dietary information and shelf life are shown on each snack’s page once verified with the maker.
