Extract from Adukale site
“Sankethi” is a small smartha-brahmin community mainly settled in the south of India in the state of Karnataka. They are believed to have migrated from Shenkottai a millennium ago and settled predominantly in Kaushika and Bettadapura in Hassan and Mysore districts of Karnataka respectively. The community has two "factions", the Bettadapura and the Kowshika Sankethis. The community is traditionally famed for intelligence, hard work and its expertise in music, vedas and in growing the areca palm The language of Sankethis’ has no written script but is more of a sweet spoken language comprising of a healthy sprinkle of Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam languages. Two main unique traits of every Sankethi family are music and of course mouth watering food preparations. The sankethis are known to be great cooks and even better.....awesomely generous servers! While tasting delicious, the sankethi cuisine eschews the extent of spices and heat traditionally found in south Indian cuisine. Sankethi style of cooking is completely different and incorporates a blend of tastes from Kerala, Karnataka and Tamilnadu. Their signature dishes are Chomai (Steamed Rice vermicelli) made from scratch, Gojjavalakki (peppered broken rice) and Kolakattaes (Steamed rice dumplings). In Sankethi, “Adukale” means kitchen- traditional Sankethi cuisine. Most of the original recipes have been passed across generations more by choice than by design for the love for food is more in the genes. “Adukale” is an attempt at reviving and reliving the original Sankethi epitome of good food. Each of the products has a healthy sprinkle of spices which appeal to the culinary senses of the old and young. Each of the mixes combines knowledge, experience, dedication, perfection and passion to give you the gastronomic experience you have always been waiting for. Go ahead and let your taste buds tingle….with our wide range of products to choose from.

I tried Gojjavalakki and the preparation is fantastic. It is very difficult to differentiate from the fresh preparation. I being a sanketi, was eager to try many of your preparations. I have collected a few packets of some recipe and try them out. I just shifted from Mumbai and was surprised to read Sankethi products in Vidyaranyapura and grabbed a few. Trying one by one. Thank you for you efforts and wish you all the best. A great relief to bachelors and people who think cooking is difficult. You must have put in lot of efforts. God bless you.
