Kakharu Badi (କକାରୁ ବଡି)

Kakharu Badi is a traditional Odia sun-dried delicacy prepared from pumpkin (kakharu) pulp blended with lentil batter, lightly seasoned and shaped into soft rounds before being naturally dried under the sun. This unique preparation gives the badi a mild sweetness, airy texture, and earthy aroma.

A seasonal speciality of Odia kitchens, Kakharu Badi is known for its ability to absorb flavours beautifully when cooked, making it a favourite addition to curries and vegetable dishes. Made using time-honoured home methods, it reflects the simplicity and purity of authentic village food.
