Bengaluru’s popular food festival — Avarebele Mela — is back. And like last year, it is being held from January 5 to 9 at the National College grounds in Basavanagudi. The annual Avarebele Mela is being organised by Shree Vasavi Condiments. The Avarebele Mela, also known as Avarekai Mela, is open from 10 am to 10 pm.
At the 24th edition of the fair, food lovers can savour more than 100 varieties of dishes prepared using avarekai (hyacinth beans / flat beans). Dosa, vada, ice cream, payasa, halwa, samosa, puffs, and many more lip-smacking dishes made out of beans (yes!) will be available at over 40 stalls, the organisers said. Avarekai rasamalai will be launched at this Avarebele Mela 2024 edition.
