Mini Karnataka Thali

After tasting Mini Manipuri meal now we have come to Karnataka Last year when we were in Ireland we went to one friend’s home for dinner.They are from Karnataka and served us with their family favorite meal like tamarind rice ,lemon rice ,sambhar-rice,cucumber kosambri onion pakodi,papadam ,gulab jamun and ice cream for the dinner.My family loved each dish that we ate there to the core.So when I told hubby that I will make some dishes from Karnataka ,he immediately asked me to repeat the same dishes.
I tried to make everything but still forgot to make the pakodis and papad.

For sweet dish ,I was a little lost .After a lot of research, I made Chirotis and I am glad that we got a chance to taste such delicious and mouth melting sweet from the state.
