Dasara Aahara Mela Sub-Committee had organised a Nalapaaka contest to check the culinary skills of couples at Aahara Mela at Scouts and Guides Ground here yesterday morning. Six couples participated in the contest with the husbands preparing Ragi Mudde while their wives preparing different variants of Uppusaaru with spicy chutney.
While traditional baked beans, onions and a variety of green leaves handpicked by wives were used to make the Uppusaaru, the spicy chutney had varieties of vegetables and pulses in it. After the preparation, the dishes were tastefully garnished with carved vegetables and coriander leaves.
