Diet

The community has traditionally followed a strict vegetarian sattvic diet consisting of seasonal fruits and vegetables (except onions and garlic), whole grains, dairy, nuts, seeds, and oil. A typical breakfast item is uppittu (a thick semolina porridge with seasonings and vegetables). A typical dinner may include saaru (a thin soup made with lentils, tamarind, tomatoes, and spices) with rice, vegetable palya, and curd rice.[3]

Other Hoysala Karnataka dishes include:[4]

  • Badanekayi-aloogedde gojju, a curry[5] made with eggplant and potatoes
  • Bili holige, similar to the rice flatbread akki rotti but softer and suppler
  • Gulpavate, a sweet made with dried fruit, ghee, jaggery, and toasted wheat flour
  • Mysuru kootu, a Karnataka-style lentil and vegetable stew
  • Nucchina unde, quenelle-shaped lentil dumplings

Titles and surnames

Common titles of community members include Bhat and Jois, which are also used as surnames. Rao is another common surname.[6]

Associations

The Hoysala Karnataka Sangha formed in 1908 but eventually disbanded.[7]
