Food and Restaurants in Coorg

Coorg is known for its paddy cultivation. Various preparations of rice, use of homegrown spices and profusion of non-vegetarian delicacies in its cuisine are the star elements of Coorg’s culinary history.

Wild boar hunting was predominant in olden times to keep the paddy fields safe. This has resulted in two of the most irresistible relishes of Coorg – Pandi curry and pork chilli. Rice is a staple. It is available as nooputtu (string hoppers), otti (baked cakes), akki roti (flat breads) and kadambuttu (rice dumplings). Some of the vegetarian delights you must try in Coorg are bamboo shoot curry, kachampuli sauce base, harive soppu (amaranth leaves), kulaiputtu (steamed jackfruit cake) and the countless lip-smacking chutneys.
