Hoysala Karnataka Brahmins are a community of Smarta Brahmins, native to what is now the state of Karnataka. Their association with the Hoysala Empire, which flourished from the 10th to the 14th centuries, has led them to adopt the prefix 'Hoysala' to their community name.




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.
Other Hoysala Karnataka dishes include:

Badanekayi-aloogedde gojju, a curry 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.




Associations


The Hoysala Karnataka Sangha formed in 1908 but eventually disbanded.
