The
cuisine of Karnataka is a potpourri of delectable dishes that represent
regional flavors. The culinary delicacies include both vegetarian and
non-vegetarian fares. While spicy fish dishes characterize the
Mangalorean cuisine, the Kodava delicacies comprise pork curries.
Among the traditional Karnataka delicacies, the masala dosa from Udupi
has become a pan-Indian favorite. The North Karnataka region exhibits a
penchant for wheat and jowar rottis served with chutneys and spicy
curries. Dharwad peda, Gokak khardantu, Belgaum khunda, shenga holige
and yellu holige are some of the popular North Karnataka sweets.
