Kudlayya Karbasaiyya Ganachari and his wife, Susheela, opened a tiny student mess, Basaveshwara Khanavali, in their home in Dharwad in 1963. Soon, the delicious reputation of their home-cooked jolada rotti oota or meal spread far beyond the student community, compelling them to open an eatery in the town’s main market. 50 years on, this North Karnataka khanavali or eating house, has expanded to 12 locations, including two in Bengaluru, but the family’s personal touch remains with the founder’s sons involved in the cooking of the meals. In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, I catch up with the youngest son, Ravi Shivappa Ganachari, at their newest eatery in Malleswaram, and savour a satisfying jolada rotti oota. Hope you enjoy the watch, stay safe and happy eating!
Jollada Rotti Meal
This is a meal that is high in nutrition, taste and variety. The jolada rottis are light and fluffy, the sort that when smeared with some butter, marry well with everything on the leaf, especially the chutneys, kempu chutney, shenga chutney and guralu, with some yoghurt. The rotti wrapped with the jhunka, salad and the gravy of the eggplant preparation, is a riot of flavours and textures. The pulses, the moth bean and sprouted mung, are satisfying, the badanekayi enngayi and dhonne menasinkayi, the sort that will have you calling for second helpings. Certainly a meal that extols the vegetarian flavours of North Karnataka.

Shenga Hollige
Served with a generous drizzle of ghee, the hollige is sticky in its texture and carries the nutty crunch of the peanuts.
