Food is an expression of a cultural identity! We, havyaka brahmins are culturally unique, so as our food. Our daily food pattern consists of well-balanced, simple and delicious recipes. The uniqueness lies in the medicinal values each recipe brings into the meal as most of the recipes are made of herbs, roots, and many naturally available ingredients. I remember, my grandmother used to make so many tasty and delicious dishes out of the abundant naturally available herbs, roots, etc available around.
Now that most of us have moved to cities and larger towns, I feel we are somewhere losing those authentic flavors which anyone would want to relish. The sole purpose of this blog (Havi-paka) is to collect and archive those ethnic havyaka recipes which I learned from my mother, aunts, and grandmothers.
