Bengaluru celebrates 25th Avarebele Mela

Since 2000, every January, Bengaluru plays host to the Avarebele Mela. This 25th anniversary of the mela sees unique dishes, such as pizzas, pastas, berliners, jalebis and jamuns, all made with the avarekalu beans, otherwise known as hyacinth beans.
At the National College grounds in Basanvangudi, this mela attracts huge crowds. At the festival, people try various dishes, and also pick up the beans by the kilo.
Here are some of the dishes we tried at the 25th Avarebele Mela. #bengaluru #bengalurufood #food #avarekalu #Avarebele

[@anishaannamala680]

This is a wonderful event. But i have a request to The Hindu - Bengaluru Bureau. I am new here. I wish there was a calendar of such events. Most of the time we come to know of these events after it's ended. If such a calendar already exists, kindly share. 😇

Avarekalu season means you’ll have avarekalu upma, avarekalu rotti, avarekalu sambar, avarekalu dal. You’ll see your parents buying avarekalu every other day 😂

Tamilians never learn Kannada even though they have lived in Bengaluru for decades. Party the blame goes to Kannidigas.
