Food And Restuarant
Cuisine - Coorg cuisine is highly influenced by the mouth-watering South Indian delicacies. A lot of coconut, curry leaves, ginger, chilli and spices like pepper and cardamom, grown here in abundance are used. Most South Indian states boast of a vegetarian diet but Coorg has a very rich cuisine of dishes prepared with meat, pork being an all time favourite. The ingredients though, bear a strong resemblance to those used to prepare the mouth-watering delicacies of the South. Thus we find abundant use of curry leaves, coconut and chilli. Pork, mushrooms, chicken, bamboo-shoots, rice and banana are but a few favourite ingredients that result in the delicious food prepared.
Authentic Coorg breakfast will be served, besides Indian and Continental dishes.
On prior notice; Indian, Continental, and Chinese dishes will be served for lunch and dinner.
A few Coorg Dishes : Pandi Karie, Mangay Pajji, Akki Otti, Mudre Kannie, Kembu Karie, Kumm Karie, Kamb Karie, Kaipuli Pajji. |
