Kodava Traditional Food: A Feast for the Senses

Kodava traditional food is characterized by its rich, bold flavors, with spices and meats playing a central role. Pandi curry (pork curry), often served with kadumbuttu (rice dumplings), is the most famous dish in Coorg. Another staple is akki rotti (rice roti), which pairs wonderfully with spicy vegetable or meat curries.

The Kashaya drink, made from medicinal herbs and spices, is often served during festivals and family gatherings, symbolizing good health and well-being. These dishes are a testament to the region’s agricultural roots, with many ingredients sourced locally.

Guests at The River Homestay have the opportunity to indulge in Kodava food experiences, where they can savor these authentic dishes. The hosts often share family recipes passed down through generations, giving visitors a true taste of Coorg’s culinary heritage.
