The 500-Year-Old Sacred Udupi Brinjal! 🍆 Exploring Mattu Gulla & A Riverfront Heritage Home

In this vlog, I travel to the village of Mattu in Udupi to uncover the story of the legendary Mattu Gulla. 🌊 This isn't just any brinjal; it is a GI-tagged marvel with a 500-year history, believed to have been gifted by Vadiraja Swamy and still offered as naivedya at the Udupi Sri Krishna Mutt. 🛕 I spent time with the farmers and the Mattu Gulla Growers Association to understand how this crop is meticulously sorted and preserved. 🚜 My journey led me to a breathtaking homestay, Aranthill, on the banks of the River Pinakini. 🏠 This home is a living museum, constructed using traditional pillars, beams, and doors—some over 200 years old—carefully collected and restored by the family. Join me as I explore the architecture, witness the traditional cooking of Mattu Gulla, and sit down for a lavish, authentic local meal in this stunning setting. 🥘✨ Kripal Amanna If you found this vlog useful, make sure to hit that SUBSCRIBE button and ring the bell so you never miss my next adventure! 👇👇 Details: Aranthill Heritage Resort, Mattu, Katpadi, Karnataka 574105; tel: +91 +91 84949 44004/ 91361 81252;   / aranthill_heritage_resort   I booked through Visit Udupi, whatsapp: +91 8277909055; instagram   / visitudupi   #GourmetOnTheRoad #Aranthill #AranthillHeritageResort #MattuGulla #UdupiFood #KripalAmanna #HeritageStay #UdupiTourism #FoodLoversTV #TraditionalHome #CoastalKarnataka #RiverfrontStay #PinakiniRiver #foodloverstv
