Usher in Ugadi with a Traditional Festive Spread at JW Kitchen, JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru

Ugadi, the first day of the new year in the Deccan, arrives with a quiet sense of renewal. It is a time when homes come alive with festive cooking, elders speak of new beginnings, and the dining table carries flavours that symbolise the many moods of life.

JW Kitchen, JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru, the spirit of the festival is celebrated with a special Ugadi lunch that brings together the beloved culinary traditions of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The afternoon begins in the traditional way with cooling glasses of Panakam, the jaggery based festive drink, along with refreshing buttermilk and tender coconut water.

The live counters lend the warmth of a festive kitchen, where freshly prepared Obbattu (Holige) is made through the afternoon, filling the air with its comforting aroma. A variety of dosas served with house-made chutneys adds to the lively spread.

At the heart of the meal is the symbolic Ugadi Pachadi, a dish that captures the essence of the festival with its blend of sweet and tangy flavours, a gentle reminder of life’s many experiences. Alongside it are time honoured favourites such as Bisibele Bath, Puliyogare, Kosambari and Avial, dishes that evoke the comfort of a traditional Ugadi feast.

The celebration concludes on a sweet note with Obbattu, a trio of Payasams and Kesari Bath, offering a simple and comforting finish to the festive afternoon.

For those looking to usher in the New Year over a leisurely meal, JW Kitchen offers a Ugadi celebration where regional flavours and festive traditions come together beautifully.
