How is it that after visiting Karnataka so many times I wasn’t aware of Lingayat Khanavali food/restaurants? Here is it is described in google- “A Khanavali is a family-run eatery run mostly by Lingayats that serve authentic vegetarian North Karnataka food consisting of jowar rotis, a few salads, fresh fenugreek leaf salad, chutney pudi (powder) made from green and red chillies, lentil dishes followed by rice with rasam, curd and dessert.“
It is a perfect lunch for a cyclist- nutritious and very tasty. This trip I have noticed them regularly in north Karnataka and have also searched them out. Now that I have crossed the Cauvery into Telengana I don’t imagine I will see any more.
After having my excellent meal at a Khanavali in Raichur I noticed a modest place nearby called Raichur Gadigi Chicken. So, after having a beer at my posh hotel, I wandered down there for dinner. I had no idea what “Gadigi” was, but after the presentation from a clay pot, I realized, that is what it is. I must say it was absolutely delicious! The link is to Raichur Gadigi Chicken and I leave you to discover it.
