Dishes Served in A Full Course Udupi Meal
The full course Udupi meal is served on a plantain leaf, which is traditionally kept on the ground. The dishes are served in a particular sequence, and each dish is placed on a particular spot of the plantain leaf. All the people eating this meal are expected to begin and end eating the meal together. A person cannot get up in middle of the meal, even though he has finished his meal.

- Ghee

- Bajji or chutney
- Ajethna
- Spiced rice (chitranna)
