When you stay in Coorg, you do not just visit a destination, you taste it. At Jayasvi Inn, our guests often say that one of the most memorable parts of their stay is the food. That is because we do not serve generic hotel meals. Instead, we invite you to experience the richness of Coorg cuisine, passed down through generations.
This blog takes you behind the scenes to show how our delicious Coorgi meals are prepared, from choosing the freshest ingredients to following time-honored recipes.
The heart of traditional Coorg food lies in its connection to nature and its bold yet balanced flavors. Every dish reflects the land, the culture, and the history of the region. At Jayasvi Inn, we proudly cook using authentic Coorg recipes that have been part of our family for generations.
Whether it is the gentle scent of rice steaming, the crackle of spices in the pan, or the earthy depth of a curry, our kitchen is a space where tradition is alive and served on every plate.
A truly good Coorgi meal begins with what goes into it. Most of our vegetables are sourced locally, either from farmers or nearby markets. Our spices come from regional growers, and we grind many of them fresh in our kitchen.
A key ingredient in several Coorg dishes is kachampuli, a naturally fermented vinegar made from the garcinia fruit. Combined with pepper, coconut, curry leaves, and fresh herbs, it gives Coorg cuisine its unique depth and character.

Each day at Jayasvi Inn begins early. We prep fresh ingredients, soak and grind grains, marinate meats, and cook slowly with care. Here’s a look at how we prepare some of our most-loved dishes:
This iconic Coorgi pork dish is marinated overnight in freshly ground spices and kachampuli. It is then slow-cooked until tender, resulting in a deep, rich flavor that is both comforting and bold.
These soft, round steamed rice balls are a signature side dish. We prepare them by grinding soaked rice into a smooth dough, shaping them by hand, and steaming them to perfection.
A vegetarian favorite, this seasonal dish uses tender bamboo shoots that have been cleaned and soaked for days to remove bitterness. Cooked with coconut and spices, it is packed with flavor.
These classic rice-based breads are staples in a Coorgi household. Akki roti is pan-cooked while noolputtu is made using a traditional press and steamed. Both pair beautifully with vegetable and meat curries.
