Shameem Aunty's Mangalorean Feast
₹749A Mangalorean feast is coastal Karnataka at its finest. Shameem has sourced the fish from Mangalore this morning — it arrived by the afternoon bus. The coconut oil is from her cousin's farm in Udupi. The kori rotti (puffed rice crisps) are being prepared from scratch. There will be fish. There will be coconut. There will be fire.
