Lankeshs

Lankeshs, also known as Lankesh, are a traditional Indian dish originating from the state of Karnataka. The name "Lankesh" is derived from the Kannada word "Lanka," which refers to the island of Lanka, the ancient name for Sri Lanka. The dish is a popular street food and is often served as a snack or a light meal. Lankeshs are typically made from a fermented batter of rice and lentils, which is then deep-fried until crispy. The batter is usually flavored with spices such as turmeric, chili powder, and asafoetida. The dish is often served with chutneys or sambar, a lentil-based vegetable stew. Lankeshs are a popular snack in Karnataka and are often sold by street vendors. The dish is also a popular item in Karnataka's cuisine and is often served during festivals and special occasions. Despite its popularity, the exact origin and history of Lankeshs are not well-documented, and the dish is believed to have evolved over time through various regional influences.
