KULKULS/KIDIYO

This is one of the main sweets prepared during Christmas. No Kuswar( Christmas sweet platter) is complete without the traditional Kulkul( kidiyo).

'Kidiyo' in konkani means worm. It is shaped like a worm. 

This crispy crunchy sweet is loved by most of us. 

People use different tools to  get perfect  curls with ridges on this snack.   Some use unused comb or fork. I prepare this using metal flat basket called as  kurpon in konkani. You can use wooden kurpon too.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy seeds 3 cashewnuts ( optional

Coorgi Pork Coorgi Pork is the iconic pork dish from Coorg region.  It's spicy, tangy, aromatic & so yummy! Here is the Youtube Video for this dish: This is the most loved and appreciated dish in my house. I usually serve this as a starter/ appetizer with drinks.  The main ingredient which gives authentic taste to this dish is the coorgi masala powder, which is mentioned in the recipe.  The bright blackish colour and the unique taste comes from the souring agent called " Kachampuli" which is a coorgi vinegar.  This semi dry dish goes well as a side dish with any meal or as an appetizer/starter. This authentic coorgi dish is served in almost every single restaurant in Coorg region with super delicious rice roties.  Recipe is easy & simple if the coorgi masala is prepared well in advance.  Try this delicious recipe.  Recipe: Ingredients: 1/2 kg pork 2 chopped onions 7-8 flakes of garlic ( chopped) 1/2" ginger ( chopped) 2 tsp kachampuli Salt, little coriander
