Kodava Cuisine On my Table from @The Coorg Food Co.

Authentic Kodava cuisine is rare to come across, The Coorg Food Co located at Kamnahalli is offering home spun heirloom dishes on their menu. I got to taste few regular and seasonal dishes, distinctive flavors from herbs foraged from their family owned estate to home made vinegar sets the cuisine apart.  

Kodava community are known for their seasonal cuisine, they prepare many dishes with cured salted pork, game meats, spices, preserved chilies and locally grown vegetables. They prefer spicy food but we can request for the spice levels in the food as per choice. Many dishes are packed with flavors from wild coriander, pepper and parangi malu (a variety of birdseye chilly)  which is grown in the foothills of their coffee and tea estates.

Food was delivered to my house, we can opt for contactless delivery option. I received my lunch in time, the packaging was excellent no drips or spills. We will had to reheat few dishes due to the distance and time the food reached. Portion size was excellent , choosing the platter options was a clever move I got to taste many dishes at once. Every single ingredient used to create this spread is sourced from their estate in coorg. 

We are right in the middle of summer, the team has prepared various dishes using summer veggies and cured pork, which is hung and cured in a smoke room that will be used during monsoon season. Beautiful spread on my table contained jackfruit cutlets, bitter gourd with onion, chilli and lime, puttu platter, pork platter, koli curry, pandhi curry and nei kulu (ghee rice).
