Friends, this week I have shared a Karnataka style Ugadi lunch menu instead of Sunday biryani recipe. Yesterday I made this simple yet delicious vegetarian lunch menu for Ugadi celebration. So I thought of sharing that platter here. Its been my long time wish to post a Karnataka style lunch menu in my blog. So I took Ugadi festival as an opportunity and made a simple veg lunch menu.
After I prepared Holige successfully, I asked my friends to suggest me an easy lunch menu idea for Ugadi festival food items. Based on their suggestions, I made Obbattu, Obbattu saaru, Mavinakayi chitranna, Mysore Bonda, Beans palya, Shavige payasa, dal, plain rice and the most popular Kosambari recipe. Also Megha suggested me a very easy recipe for Obbattu saaru.
As I had made Obbattu in the previous day, making this menu was easy for me. In this post, I have shared the recipes of Kosambari( using moong dal ) and beans palya. I have made a separate post for Obbattu saaru and Mavinakayi chitranna. I have given links for all these recipes below. Please check it. Ok, Now lets see this yummy Karnataka lunch menu recipes for Ugadi festival.
Check out my other lunch menu posts here .
Wish you all a very happy Ugadi !!

Instructions
- I assume that you have made obbattu/Holige the previous day and shared the procedure for making other dishes below.
- Wash and soak moong dal for 30 minutes to make kosambari. Wash and soak urad dal for mysore bonda for 45 minutes in enough water. You can also make vada instead of bonda.
- To make this menu, pressure cook one cup of rice adding 3 cups of water. Take moong dal in a small closed container and keep it inside the cooker. It gets cooked with rice. Soak tamarind in water for 20 minutes. Pressure cooking rice and dal will be done in 15 minutes.
- In another burner, boil the vermicelli and let it cook. In the mean time, wash and peel the skin of raw mango. Grate it and finely chop the green chillies. Heat a pan and do the tempering, add green chillies and grated mango.
- Saute well adding salt and turmeric powder. Mix well till mangoes get cooked. Lastly add the grated coconut, saute for a minute and switch off the flame. After the pressure is released, spread the rice in a plate and let it cool. Add this maavinakayi paste and mix well adding sesame oil. Adjust salt and garnish with coriander leaves. Please refer my maavinakayi chitranna post for another method.
- Now vermicelli will be cooked well, add milk, sugar and roasted nuts and remove from the flame. Set aside.
- To make kosambari, take the soaked moong dal, drain the water completely and add grated coconut, grated carrot, finely chopped cucumber, green chillies and coriander leaves. Mix well. Add salt just before serving otherwise this mixture will leave more water while serving. So add salt only before serving. Lastly do the tempering and Kosambari is ready.
- For beans palya, wash and chop the beans into small circles. Heat oil in a kadai and temper mustard seeds, urad dal, hing and curry leaves. Add finely chopped green chillies and beans. Add the required salt and saute well for few minutes. Sprinkle some water and cover cook the beans till its done. Mix it once or twice in the middle. Add the grated coconut, coriander leaves in the end, give a stir and switch off the flame. Beans palya is ready. You can add few drops of lemon juice at the end which is optional.
- Lastly you can do the obbattu saaru by using the reserved holige pooran dal water. Please check the link for obbattu saaru recipe above. By now, urad dal would have been soaked well. Grind the batter and make bonda. Serve saaru and bonda really hot to enjoy its best taste. So I made it at the end.
- You can finish the entire process within an hour if you plan it right. Serve everything hot and enjoy !

Wow. Meal looks inviting and very much tempting.
We (Kannadidas) generally avoid serving banana in plate as it's used only in Dhavasam. Good work.
Oh Thanks for letting me know.
