For those who like to eat spicy and sweet at the same time, Chow chow Bath is just the Karnataka food for you. It is a two-in-one dish; Khara Bath and Kesari Bath. While Khara Bath is the spicy Upma made with peanuts and vegetables, Kesari Bath is sweet Halwa which gets its orange colour from saffron. Both these delectable dishes are made with semolina (sooji). It is Karnataka’s favourite breakfast meal.

Chow Chow Bath
Two common ingredients in both the recipes are sooji (rava or cream of wheat) and ghee. Do use the fine variety of rava and not the coarser one. Ghee can be added less or more as per your preferences. I prepare a very simple coconut chutney for chow chow bath.
