My festival menu also includes timeless South Indian delicacies like Kai Holige and Kar Kadabu. The Holige is a sweet flatbread filled with coconut and unde bella from Mandya, while the Kadabu is a fried dumpling stuffed with a sweet jaggery and coconut hoorna.
To complement the sweets, I offer a range of classic Bengaluru savories. This menu features traditional snacks like Khara Chakli, Kodubale, and Nipattu, all made fresh to provide that perfect crunchy, spicy balance for your festival spread.
My Badam Halwa is prepared with rich almonds and pure ghee, then packed in these glass jars. This makes it an ideal choice for gifting during festivals or corporate events, offering a taste of luxury that is both authentic and beautifully presented.
I am deeply honored to have been recognized as the 'Outstanding Caterer & Foodpreneur' by the Nationwide Awards. This award reinforces my commitment to providing delicious food, maintaining hygienic preparation, and running a conscious, responsible business.
As a foodpreneur, my mission is to bring a sense of consciousness and respect for ingredients back into the catering industry. Every dish I create is a reflection of my passion for authentic food and the stories it tells.

About Artisanal Festival Sweets & Savories

Why I Do This

Food isn’t just about taste for me - it’s about memory, connection, and a bit of nostalgia. I genuinely believe ‘Yatha Annam Tatha Mannam’ - as the food, so the mind. Every sweet or snack I make is meant to create that festival magic at home, the way our elders did.

What Sets My Sweets & Savories Apart

  • Everything is made in small batches, just before the festival, so you get that fresh, just-cooked feel.
  • Sugar? Not much here. Most of my sweets are made with organic jaggery. It’s a healthier, richer flavour.
  • Only pure desi ghee and local ingredients go into the mix. No shortcuts.

Festival Menu Highlights

  • Ghee Jaggery Mysorepak - the real deal, melts right away
  • Jaggery Jahangir - juicy and soaked just right
  • Ghee Jaggery Ladoo - classic motichoor, but with jaggery
  • Kai Holige/Obattu - made with Unde Bella (Mandya jaggery balls)
  • Kar Kadabu - festive and stuffed with coconut hoorna
  • Jaggery Coconut Burfi - crunchy outside, soft inside
  • Badam Halwa - in jars, perfect for gifting
  • Bengaluru specials: Chow-Chow, Khara Chakli, Kodubale, Shankar Pali, classic Nipattu

How It Works

I don’t keep sweets on a shelf - everything’s made to order for each festival. For Varamahalakshmi, Ganesha Habba, Diwali, and more, I announce a festival menu, prep fresh, and deliver across namma Bengaluru (our city). Everything’s packed with care - ready for gifting or just enjoying at home.

If you want festival flavours with a homemade touch, this is it.

My Story

I’m Arjun and Saffron & Salsa is my heart-work. We started with a baale ele oota (plantain leaf meal) for a Muslim wedding in 2020 - that’s our style, mixing cultures, respecting every tradition. Cooking’s not just a job, it’s my meditation. We don’t like waste, so I always talk to clients about mindful menus. Hara, our kitchen, is all about hyperlocal food. Awards are nice, but being called back by families, that’s real joy.

My Work

What we serve - Premium vegetarian and vegan catering for weddings, sangeeths, corporate events, birthdays, housewarmings, Upanayanams, and more. We also make traditional festival sweets.

Menus built on culture - We start with your family’s food roots—Kannada-Jain, Marathi-Konkani, whatever—then customize every menu to fit.

Local to global flavours - From live pasta stations to Davangere Benne Dose, our spread covers global and authentic Indian, including plantain leaf wedding meal.

Gold Thali & unique experiences - Our Gold Thali sit-down meal and Chaats Bandi make your event a memory, not just a meal.
