Rice and a coconut curry are everyday lunch and dinner in most Mangalorean households. Call it a staple food, a common man’s food.

I personally prefer the coconut-based curries as I find them to be more delicious. We Mangalorean love to use coconut in everything and anything. Most of our vegetarian recipes are coconut based Also, the use of coconut ensures that you get sufficient gravy, as back then families were large and many mouths to feed.

This gravy pairs well with steamed rice, dosa, idli and even chapatis.
