As a Kannada teacher for over 20 years, I have found that one of the best ways to immerse my students in the language is to introduce them to food-related vocabulary. Kannada has a rich culinary heritage, with a wide variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, each with its own unique flavors and ingredients. In this lesson, we will explore some of the most essential words and phrases that you need to know to talk about meals and ingredients in Kannada.
