A distinct flavour is what differentiates Mangalorean cuisine from any other indian cuisine..Generally the food is spicy and uses a lot of fresh coconut with rice..Fish is a regular dish for non vegetarians..The most popular fruit which is used in many recipes are Jack fruits, Bamboo shoots, raw banana and sweet cucumber..We also prefer jaggery instead of sugar and raw mango, tamarind and kokum are also our main ingredients..
Some of the most popular dishes include Idli sambhar, Many types of dosas like plain dosa, uppu dosa, neer dosa, rava dosa, etc.. kaane (Lady fish) curry made with fresh coconut..appam, kori roti etc..
Desserts are mostly made from palm jaggery.. I love to eat chana dal kheer which is very tasty prepared by coconut milk chana dal, rice and jaggery ...
