  • Malnad food is one of the prominent type cuisines in South India

    People of Malnad use different spices in the preparation of the local cuisines. Though the name of the dishes remains the same, the way it is prepared is unique to each destination. Travel Malnad® had organized a very successful food safari covering the entire Malnad and Coastal Karnataka destinations. One strikingly unique thing we noticed about the local dishes is, they have the same names but prepared uniquely. This information has reinforced us about the fact that food is an integral part of the evolution of different cultures.

    When we ask people of Malnad why a certain dish is prepared only during a specific season, we get a lot of knowledge about science in cuisines. The climate of a region plays a pivotal role in how people decide and like about their food habits. When dishes are prepared for small numbers and large numbers the methods of preparations need to be customized. If you have eaten something at a Malnad homestay it would have tasted different, the same dish would be different at a restaurant.

    The large part of the credit goes to the methods of preparation of foods and the high-quality Malnad ingredients used in it. When Travel Malnad® interviewed chefs from the Malnad region we found out that the climate conditions also play a big role in the outcome of the taste. The same chef when prepared for a large gathering at North Karnataka had observed the differences in taste. There won’t be any change in the number of ingredients used or the cooking time, still, the moisture, humidity plays a role in the results.

  • Malnad cuisines evolved with its culture from ages

    Malnad cuisines evolved with its culture from ages

    The debate of cuisines as a science, as a cultural result, like a chef’s expertise, is everywhere. We would love to take up the topic of cultural reasons for the evolution of Malnad cuisine. The cuisine experts who traveled with us in the journey of understanding the cuisines of Malnad gave us different observations. There is a lot of proof that the cultural preferences of people helped evolve different dishes in a cuisine.

    The journey of a simple Jackfruit Kadabu in Malnad would show us footprints of how people from the Coastal region in Karnataka could have brought it to Malnad. It gives us a whole picture of the migration of the population from Coastal to Malnad for trade, agriculture, and many other reasons.

    Once people started living in the Malnad region their food habits took slight changes in the tinge of salt or spices. But a whole lot of things in the way they prepared food remained most similar to the region they came from. Yes, there are some original dishes in Malnad cuisines that got evolved as the seasons demanded change.

    For instance, horse gram soup/rasam (Huruli Saaru) is prepared at most of the Malnad homes during the rainy season. The monsoon season in Malnad means paddy cultivation using Bullocks in the farms during ancient times. The horse gram kept the bullocks warm, so people cooked it and took out the soup to have it themselves while the horse gram was served to the bullocks.

    Malnad Store Food Products

    There are other dishes too which must have the important ingredients from Malnad Recipes. You will not get the same taste if prepared with different standards of ingredients. Raja, Maharajas of Karnataka, has hailed the tastes and health benefits of several Malnad cuisines. The books of history also mention the Malnad food that’s been spoken about by great people from yesteryears.

    Though many people know about Malnad only a few restaurants serve the Malnad cuisine. We have a sister concern company called Malnad.Store (https://www.malnad.store/) which sells exclusive Malnad products that are originally ‘Made in Malnad’.

Traveler of today is much more sophisticated and learned about the nuances of spending a vacation meaningfully. If you have noticed, the travel experience will be always cherished and remembered while conversing with our friends & colleagues even though the trip was done a month ago. We will have in detail the memory of the things we did, the people we met, and the food we ate during the journey. This gives an authority to say that travel is the most important part of our lives which we love to live during our leisure time. This is not the case for only city people, a lot of people living in the countryside also travel and explore places far and near them.

    The journey we took this year, as a team of software engineers from a budding startup, is to the Malnad region. We all keep saying this, think exploring malnad then visit travelmalnad.com. We have been using their services since 2008 while we were working with our former employer. The reason you must all visit Malnad once in your lifetime because the magnanimity of nature’s blessings is felt only if we travel and stay here. Malnad homestays are a cut above the rest of the hospitality services in the entire Karnataka.

    Malnad Homestays with best service

    They are a niche segment with a focused intent of giving the utmost holiday experience for the guests. A very important reason we considered to choose Travel Malnad® for our Malnad homestays booking is their list of stays with only the best host. Whenever we wrote feedback the entire team was on the same line with their experiences. This is what we loved about choosing the stays only @ Travel Malnad® many times when we have traveled to Karnataka.

    This year, before the lockdown began in March we had already done a memorable trip in the month of February. We had traveled to Thirthahalli and then also covered Chikmagalur from there. We were so happy to have taken the route from Thirthahalli to Chikmagalur for reaching Mudigere Homestay by Travel Malnad®. The journey began early in the morning with a sumptuous breakfast at our Thirthahalli homestay. We made a pit stop at a Bhadra Cafe near Balehonnur for an awesome bread omelet & local coffee from the estates. The road from Thirthahalli to Chikmagalur is in very good condition. We salute to the Karnataka Government for doing almost all roads nice for motoring.

    Chikmagalur Malnad Homestays

    We reached Chikmagalur homestay by noon just in time for lunch. The evening was spent on local sightseeing and a nice campfire in the middle of the coffee estate. The next day, we covered estate tours, adventure activities, cycling, and also visited Mulianagiri before heading back to Bangalore. The stretch between Thirthahalli and Chikmagalur is completely green with estates and forests. Imagine you are driving putting your car windows down and the breeze gushes through your hairs. We would have not asked for anything more but the blessing of the Mother in Nature that came to us in disguise. All of us in the team were saying one thing loudly ‘we are blessed’ and this time we are blessed by nature.

    Regards,

    Balakrishna,

  • Are Malnad homestays open during this Covid 19 situation?

    We at Travel Malnad®, getting this query frequently from a lot of our travel community members, users of our portal travelmalnad.com. Currently, this month as we are writing this piece of blog, most of the homestays in malnad are closed since the nearby sightseeings are closed. Only a few would be open as quarantine centers or having WFH (work from home) facilities. The majority of the stays in Malnad have shut their premises voluntarily as they do not want to risk spreading the virus to the rural parts of Karnataka. The reality is, the locals are also vigilant about the tourism movement and had expressed their concerns at this point.

    Travel Malnad® has been doing a very responsible travel service to date. We have owed to protect the interests of our hosts and the local community. Most important to us is the travelers who have been our guests ever since we launched this service. We request you all to stay at home and stay safe till we write to you about the safe opening of homestays in malnad where you holiday peacefully. There are a few operators, so-called trekking professionals trying to incessantly market to trekkers from cities promising the expeditions in the Malnad region during these difficult months.

    Be aware of the facts before you venture into forests or trekking trails in the name of trekking, camping, hiking, adventure… The tourism ministry of Karnataka has officially announced the closure and Deputy Commissioners of respective districts have sent notices to homestay owners already. Your safety is of utmost importance to us and it’s not about just selling a few rooms and increase revenue by risking your health & safety. We at Travel Malnad® strongly believe that the health & safety of the travelers coming to the Malnad as well as the local community is the only priority right now. We can travel in the future and do all that we wanted to do once the pandemic dies down and the Government will lift all travel restrictions. Until then, if you think that you were not aware and booked a service without checking the reality then it will be your mistake and might get into trouble unnecessarily. Those of you, who have already traveled and are staying at Malnad homestays as your Work From Home (WFH) accommodation, you need not worry as the Government also has told it to be not an issue.
