Khara bath is the most popular Breakfast recipe in Karnataka.Kharabath is nothing but Semolina/Sooji/Upma Rava cooked in lots of ghee and oil with vegetables and spices.In Bangalore there is no breakfast menu without khara bath in hotels.It is also served as “Chow Chow bath” along with a scoop of Kesari bath.Very soon I will share Chow Chow Bath recipe here.Among all the hotels that serve khara bath,Brahmin’s coffee bar kharabath is the most popular one.Any body who visit Bangalore for the first time would wish to try Idli,khara bath,coconut chutney and filter coffee in brahmin’s coffee bar. I am happy that I have tasted it twice with my
School moms friends in Gandhi Bazaar.After tasting there,I have tried several time to recreate the same at home by referring so many recipes and youtube videos.But nothing came up to the mark.Recently I came across
Shanthi mam’s recipe using bath powder which was very different from other recipes I had tried.So I bookmarked and tried it today for our breakfast.It came out really well and I was completely happy with the result.I won’t say it tasted 100% like Brahmin’s coffee bar ones.But it was close it.Sendhil liked it a lot and he was full of praises.What else I need to post this recipe
.To get the actual taste of karabath,u must add more ghee,oil.So please don’t hesitate to use it.After all we are going to make it once in a while.Don’t worry about the Calories and just enjoy this Karnataka delicacy at home.Lets see how to make Karnataka most popular Kharabath recipe with stepwise pictures !
