What is Tambuli? 

Tambuli, deeply rooted in the culinary heritage of Karnataka, is a traditional beverage renowned for its unique blend of flavours and health benefits. Originating from the Malenadu and Coastal Belt regions, Tambuli is crafted from a medley of plants, leaves, roots, and vegetables, each imparting its distinct essence to the concoction. The name “Tambuli” derives from the Kannada words “Tampu” meaning cold and “Huli” meaning sour, reflecting its refreshing and tangy nature. Typically prepared with buttermilk, Tambuli can be enjoyed both as a beverage and as a accompaniment to rice. Beyond its delightful taste, Tambuli is treasured for its medicinal properties, with different varieties offering remedies for various ailments. From aiding digestion to alleviating joint pain, Tambuli has long been hailed as a natural elixir for overall well-being. As a beloved staple in Karnataka’s culinary repertoire, Tambuli continues to captivate palates and nourish bodies, preserving centuries-old traditions with each revitalizing sip.
