Theres more to the cuisine of Karnataka than just dosa or idli. Karnataka is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. Pride in our cultural roots permeates into our food. Some mouthwatering community specials. Malnad cuisine is fusion of Kodava and Mangalorean fare. Key preparations include the midigayi pickle (tender mango,) sandige, avalakki (beaten rice,) and akki rotti made of rice flour. The ragi balls with mutton stew are definitely worth a try. There is a vegetarian version also where you can have the same ragi balls with vegetable stew.
