| About: |
| “HidikBele” also know as “Hidikavare/Avarebele” in Kannada and “Val Dhal” in Hindi. Usually the Hidikavare Saaru is prepared with fresh dhal during the avarekayi (papdi lilva) season. First the avarekalu (lilva) is removed from the pods and soak it in the water for 6-8 hours then using thumb and forefinger the outer skin is removed by squeezing the grain to get the dhal. “Hidiku” means squeezing in Kannada, hence the name “Hidikavare”. |
