If you thought ghassi, sambhar and idlis summed up the cuisine of the Gowd Saraswat Brahmins (GSB), you are quite mistaken.
There are complex curries like \'val-val\', spicy \'tee.
Simple lentil soup, \'dhali toy\', served over the steamed rice and the topping of a dollop of homemade clarified butter/ghee is a probably the one most loved comfort food for GSBs.
The food cooked in a Brahmin home is essentially sathvic paying special attention to the balance and nutritive value of the dishes prepared.
