Why Learn Kitchen Words in Kannada?

Karnataka's kitchen vocabulary is deeply connected to the state's famous cuisine — ಬಿಸಿಬೇಳೆಬಾತ್ (Bisibelebath), ಮಸಾಲೆ ದೋಸೆ (Masala Dose) and ರಾಗಿ ಮುದ್ದೆ (Ragi Mudde) are made with the very lentils, grains and spices in this category. Children who know ತೊಗರಿ ಬೇಳೆ and ಅಕ್ಕಿ can help their grandmothers in the kitchen, understand cooking instructions in Kannada, and feel part of the daily ritual of Karnataka home cooking.
