Explore The Traditional Taste of Coorg
Tourism and food are two factors, having a powerful appeal in the recent years. Many tourist attractions in the world attract travellers with their wide range and unique dishes they offer. These cuisines add new components to the image of the tourist destinations. To bring local foods as a part of tourist attraction is one of the key strategies of tourism development especially in the tourist destinations which are rich in their culture, festivals and tradition. According to Wolf (2002) culinary tourism is a search for the local or traditional cuisine during the holidays. Coorg, the Scotland of India, located amidst of imposing mountains is a perfect natural spot. The well-known tourist destination in South India is not only popular for its coffee plantations, beautiful greenery, misty hills but for their local cuisine as well. There are many best resorts in Coorg which offer a chance to experience the wide range of local and ethnic foods for their guests. Coorg is the home of authentic and ethnic Kodagu food, where many of the dishes are part of their life but some dishes are prepared occasionally during the festivals and holidays. Local people in Coorg prepare many special and tasty dishes which are not available elsewhere and is entirely different compared to other regions in Karnataka.
Among all ethnic and traditional cuisines, Coorg’s Pandi (Pork) Curry is the most symbolic and pretty famous dish which is originally made with wild boar. Pandi Curry is available in all parts of Karnataka, especially in Mangalore, Bangalore and Mysore, but the traditional taste of Coorg Pandi Curry is based on the good quality of pork (wild boar) which is available in Coorg Region only. Along with good quality pork, Pandi Curry needs the rich flavour of species from Coorg such as Kachampuli, Corgi vinegar, Tamarind juice etc. The history of Pandi Curry is linked with British rule India. The British imperials used to hunt the wild boar and their local cooks from Coorg prepare Pandi curry for them. Since hunting is banned, the Coorg Pandi curry is made with typical country pork available in Coorg. Kadambuttu is another most popular dish and an accomplishment for Pandi curry. The main ingredient of Kadambuttu is coarsely ground rice or Thari. Kadambuttu is the steamed rice ball which is steamed over medium heat. You must try for Kadambuttu and Pandi Curry when you get a chance to visit any of the Coorg villages.
