Karnataka cuisine is a blend of distinctive cuisines of its various regions like Mangalore, Malnad, Udupi, Coorg, North Karnataka etc.
A typical Karnataka meal is pure vegetarian cooked in sesame and ground nut oil. The coastal areas have a simple, yet flavorsome cuisine with meat, fish and seafood varieties cooked in coconut oil. Especially Mangalore coast with their Goan influence have their own distinct fish and meat specialties cooked in coconut milk. The Bhakri meal of northern Karnataka based on Jowar is very different as is the raagi meal of the rural areas of Mysore. The Kodavas or Coorgis, who are culturally quite different from the rest of the state, have an equally distinct cuisine. The three staple items of Karnataka’s culinary culture are rice, raagi and jowar (millet). The people in the northern districts prefer millet rotis with spicy vegetable preparations while in rural Mysore the preference is steamed raagi balls served with hot chutney or ‘huli’, very similar to Sambhar.
