World Famous Puliyogare, Sakkare Pongal Of Melukote | SUBBANNA MESS | 100 Year Culinary Tradition!
#iyengarcuisine #vegetarian #melkote
100 year old vegetarian eatery in melukote, temple town, mandya district, pandavapura taluk, iyengar food, iyengar cuisine, brahmin cuisine, puliyogare, sakkarai pongal, bela pongal, sambar, rasam, banana leaf lunch, traditional meal, karnataka
Located around 150 kilometres from Bengaluru, the temple town of Melukote is home to culinary traditions that have evolved over centuries. Many say that quintessential Iyengar delicacies such as the sakkarai pongal, bela pongal and puliyogare trace their roots to this sacred town where one modest eatery, Subbanna Mess, has been serving traditional Melukote cuisine for nearly a century to pilgrims who journey here. In this episode, I explore the making of the puliyogare gojju, savour a delicious lunch and meet the family behind this eatery who state rather humbly, that they are merely preserving the culinary customs handed down by the generations that came before them.
Hope you enjoy this watch. Stay safe and strong. Happy eating!
Veg Meal
Rs. 100 (usd 1.3)

23:36 "Introduce them and encourage them to be friends with recent additions". The way you explain things man superb
*This week,itself tried Sakara Pongal for the first time and it is indeed Bliss 😇* *Kudos to Mr Shankaranarayana for keeping the centuries old Recipes Alive and hope Bhargava is the next Torchbearer* 🙏
Its not only about the food sir. The stories behind the food and their experiences makes me more happy. Iam a fan of your stories (video is a small word i feel)

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 India has so much history, the world cannot even begin to know,small establishments like these reflects our rich culinary history
Sumptuous Brahmin meal, well explained by Kripal Sir, explicitly to the extent that we felt the gustatory impact here in B'lore 👌
Sir now u r speaking beautiful Kannada ... ನಿಮಗೆ ವಂದನೆಗಳು
ನೀವು ಊಟ ಮಾಡೋದು ನೋಡ್ತಿದ್ರೆ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ನಮಗೆ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ಹಸಿವಾಗುತ್ತೆ😋
The way you described the taste in the coconut made me feel like I was eating next to you.. The way you describe the taste and the ingredients is inspiring... In the world of smart phones when people are having mobile phones as a side dish, your videos inspire us to focus on the plate we savour...
Subbanna hotel is truly a foodie delight. Subbanna always talkes of retirement but good to know he continues to serve humanity.

Such lovely people should never retire.lots of respect.
I don't know why every great food in karnataka. We miss the yummy.
While going through a book Poison for Breakfast by Lemony Snicket, a thought passed my mind how we have gone into a self- destruct mode by adopting fusion foods, foreign cereals etc abandoning our age old healthy traditional foods. I am not against momo or street food culture but the way we are fast losing our traditional food culture is something food vloggers and foodies must act quickly and restore our food traditions. Corn flakes ,oats or breads etc are not equal to idlis,upma or parathas. Kudos to you for trying to review and revive our Indian food culture so passionately and lovingly that should make everyone realise how we are fast losing our traditional foods to imported culture. Request you to keep sharing and showing more traditional foods for our future generations. 🙏🙏🙏🙏😷😷😷🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
How kripal explains the dish I bet no one in this world explain the dishes better then kripal. Last he was served with jaggery pongal. He put a word like river of GHEE or TUPPA.👌👍👌👍
Karnataka is truly blessed. Thanks for this episode Kripal been waiting for this one for a very long time.
I just love this channel 😍 ...I have been watching this from 1 year ...it is great to watch and know more about Karnataka food Staying in Karnataka didn't know many of those restaurants, sweet marts , dhabas ... thanks to kripal amana sir
Srimaan shankarnarayana was very modest and hats off to the depth of knowledge he has in what he is doing. ಪುಳಿಯೋಗರೆ is really under-rated. I still remember those temples who used to serve puliyogare prasadam satisfied my hunger many times.
I think this is the first time my mouth watered watching veg meal. No non veg at all. Just amazing.
I am indebted to you Kripal. Almost ten years back I was in Melukote, and I was staying in a government Inspection bungalow. Lunch was arranged at the bungalow and take away food was served. I was not expecting anything special. But the food surprised me. To say I was blown away by the taste of the food is understatement. I am now more than convinced I was served food from this mess. I kept trying to find out the place and had given up. But as soon as I read the title of the episode, I was smiling from ear to ear.
When two passionate people meet.. Magic happens ❤️
First of all Kirpal Sir I like the way you speak kannada. Thanks for capturing such authentic places serving traditional and authentic dishes.
There is some beauty in seeing Kripal Sir eating. The way he eats by looking at the dish affectionately and slowly taking it and placing in mouth and that sense of fulfillment in his eyes after taking first byte. Just wow.😍

Great work sir, one thing I noticed because of your work younger generation getting to know and also making them, keen to visit these kind of food eateries which carries our great ancient heritage of food culture followed by our grandfather's 🙏👏
This is one of the Best Hotel in melukote..... thanks for remembering my old memories as I was studied in melkote....once again thank you sir 👍👍
Omg, this simple food and the way the owner has maintained the simplicity of the centuries and yet comes out with the most delicious dishes, my mouth’s watering!! Learned a few things watching this. Kripal the fact that you have warmed up to the local lingo and Kannada! Lovely! This shows that we dont need to add onion garlic for every dish, which is the case with most restaurants today. Keep up the tours of places like this!!
Shout out to Kripal for showcasing and highlighting such traditional eatouts and local legends.
These are the kind of people who are scarce in the world. Money is not everything. Preserving our traditions is important. Good to see how proud they are to transfer down their knowledge down their generations and hope it is preserved. Kripal Sir, i really need to thank you for bringing out all these hidden gems. Would love to visit these places one day

Beautiful sharing super 😍😋👌👌🤝👍👈😊😊✅
My mouth is watering. The way you explain makes us feeling like we are savouring these dishes ourselves. Thank you.
I spent my 5 years of childhood at Mandya. I have some memories of Melukote and taste of puliyogare and sihipongalu.
I just picked up Puliyogere gravy from their Malleswaram outlet. 250 gms cost 140. The disturbing fact is there is no name of manufacturer, DoP and UB and MRP.. Just a sticker of the shop mentioning the rate. The sales persons have no idea of the product and they suggest to keep in fridge for longer use. None of the products sold at this outlet has the above details. Please follow the government procedure as it's come under FSSAI. Because you are more than 100 years old, you cannot ignore the rules as it's food item and has shelf life.

The way with which Kripal sir asked for extra pongal at the end of his meal was so polite....Liked it.
Thanks for introducing us to melkote area in mandya district, we skanara people have less chance of visiting mandya area. Maximum we visit Bangalore/Mysore boyond that never. Your introduction has promoted us to visit and enjoy the ayangar/Brahmin dishes like sweet/savour pulogare etc. Jai Brahmin tridom of hing, tengu, Bella. 🙏👍

Mel - kote - During Ramanujacharya's times this part of Karnataka was known as mel-nadu or a " superior place". It became attached to "Kote" since this place protected him like a fort when he was in danger. So there is no real fort here nor was one there earlier
@4:05👌. The foodie in us😀
This is my great grandfather's sister's family. Happy to see their video on KZread.
Saw the Episode with Puneeth Rajkumar. Sat with Amanna sir like a common man and gave a very frank review. Felt little sad though
Srirangapatna and Melukote fascinating and beautiful places in Karnataka.
ನಿಮ್ಮ ನಾಲಿಗೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಅದೃಷ್ಟ ಮಾಡಿದೆ. 🙂
Subbanna' s knowledge is awesome.
The conversation between u and sankarnarayanan is fantastic. Go a head sir.
Truly amazing !! So good when you see culture and tradition being preserved for centuries.
Nice to hear kripal Kannada getting better episode by episode
10/10 for 3 dishes.. WoW 😯
Kripal ji, Puliyogare & sakkara pongal are made for each other. Mouth watering! Wish I were there with you to taste those stuff with your mellifluous voice!
Kripal sir my fevrit video satvik food 👌👌👌👌👏👏🙏🙏
The uncleji was so generous with ingredients that were used . Not many people give away recipe secrets.
Bangaru teegalu means "gold stings", one type Rice name in our Ap.
Kripalji,, Me and my wife Sudharani visited Melkote a couple of times for the Darshan of Sri Cheluvanarayana and Yoganarasimha. Accidentally we had food at Subbanna Mess. Even today we can remember the extraordinarily beautiful(Cheluva) main diety and the Yoganarasimha. And ofcourse the traditional food of Subbanna Mess and in particularly the Pulihora and Chakkara Pongal. The rice is called Bangaru(gold) Theegalu(wires). Thanks 😊 a ton sir.
See you should feel so proud that small town aged persons are knowing you through your channel and nice to hear about your knowledge about smarthas vaishnavas
Beautifull you deserve the the culture of our Karnataka's tradition to the another height,your work is so hard hats up to you

Am happy for 2 reasons, one we went there on Tuesday for breakfast and the loved it to the core ( not the first time here but the signature taste never give up ). secondly now for sure we know this place will be crowded even on weekdays due to Kripal sir's effect :D
