I still need to sort the list showing items which can be prepared for festivals, and for shradha and paksha.Sri Mayyia Caterers dates back to 1953, a nostalgic era where traditional Indian fare was a clear favourite, and every feast or celebration was incomplete without the mouthwatering delicacies. for further details pls visit our official website https://www.srimayyiacaterers.co.in/, Contact us @ +91 98450 38235/ +91 98454 9722260

    Hello Friends,

    During my last visit to Bengaluru,in one of the Rayaru Matha I visited, I ate some lemon peel chutney, It was so delicious that I still remember it longingly. The person who made it was not open to share the recipe so I let it go.

    I have searched the net but could not find a recipe which seemed right. Do any of you have the recipe for lemon skin chutney or any thoughts on how I can make it? Sure would appreciate if you share it.

    Thanks.

    Don’t mean to split hairs. But ‘hotte baaka’ , as I have seen, is used in a situational sense, for example, he ate so much during the marriage lunch like a ‘hotte baaka’. thindi potha seems a quality ingrained in the individual. My 2 cents….

    Reply

    • Posted by Sarveswara on February 15, 2015 at 11:44 pm

      Dear Anand, thank u for the msg. I agree that ‘ hotte baaka’ is not the same as ‘ sapattu raman’. Hotte baka is one who overeats. probably the english equivalent of sapattu raman is ‘foodie’ . as per wikepedia , “A foodie is a gourmet, or a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food and alcoholic beverages.[1] A foodie seeks new food experiences as a hobby rather than simply eating out of convenience or hunger.’,

    Dear Ms. Meera, I checked with my seniors and found that mint and dill will never be found in a true Madhwa-naividya spread.

    dear madam, i have visited this blog several times. but this is the first time I am exploring this particular section for madhwa-recipes. great job. being a ‘saapattu raman’ ( I don’t think that there is a kannada equivalent for this word ) I like this page very much. one thing that springs to my mind whenever there is a madhwa marriage is ‘ majjige palidya’. please do post the recipe for ‘majjige palidya’ if you know the same .

        Dear Ravi, thank u very much for your response. I was not aware of this usage. I thought ‘ koochu bhatta’ is a bookworm who always keeps reading books . that is why kannada proverb ‘ ಓದಿ ಓದಿ ಮರುಳಾದ ಕೂಚು ಭಟ್ಟ ‘.

    Hello Meera-avre,
    By the grace of Shri Raghavendra Tirtharu, we now have a Rayara matta in San Jose, CA (CA Bay Area). The website is http://skvtemple.org/default.aspx
    Please do visit our matta when you are in the area.

        Sorry, that is not a ‘rayara mutt’ . Rayara mutt means it should have Raghavendra Swamigala brundavana consecrated properly with ‘ mrutthika’ obtained from Moola Brundavana in Mantralaya. The San Jose mutt is a branch of Sri Puttige Mutt.
        Just stating facts. Sri Sugunendra Swamiji of Puttige Mutt is doing yeoman service to the cause of spreading Madhwa philosophy and traditions overseas.

      • Posted by Archana on August 14, 2014 at 4:43 pm

        @ Anand: Yes this is run by priests who are affiliated to Sri Puttige Mutt. There is a brundavana already, but they have recently obtained Mrutthika from the Moola Brundavana and there are plans to consecrate a proper Brundavana soon.

    Namasthe Meera,
    I am in Houston for a short Business Trip, incidentally I found this site. Happy to know that you are devotee of Shri Raghavendra Tirtharu.. Do you have any Raghavendra Swamy temple (or for that matter any temple ) in Houston/ tx?

    Madhwa’s are specialized in making gojju’s. Do you have the receipe for lemon gojju as well as raisin’s gojju ? I used to eat that a lot in my friend’s place. Thank you.

      To prepare lemon gojju you have to follow the same procedure i,e. stir fry lemon until brown and rest of the ingredients remain the same
