WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Order pandi curry (pork with kachampuli vinegar) with kadambuttu or akki otti, and try noolputtu. If you do not eat pork, ask for koli curry (chicken) instead. A homestay meal usually beats a restaurant. Confirm any restaurant is still open, since older listings are not reliable.

HISTORY & BACKGROUND

Kodava cooking is built around rice dishes such as kadambuttu, akki otti and noolputtu, eaten with pork or chicken curries soured with kachampuli, a dark vinegar.
