Kori rotti

              Kori rotti is a Bunt speciality  and a famous dish of Coastal Karnataka.It is served with a  combination of thin crispy crepes known as rotti which is prepared by grinding rice and a spicy chicken curry which is known as Kori . Traditionally ladies in the Bunt household used to prepare it at home , but now it is easily available in the stores and people buy store bought rottis at a very friendly price . It is served in most of the Tuluvas wedding or receptions.
                              As a kid my aunt used to take me  to her friends place during Marigudi puja , who belonged to a  Bunt community,and there they used to prepare their specialities like Kori sukkha,pundi ghasi,Kori rotti etc.The chicken preparation would be done with the  Country chicken or Urda koli.And I used to enjoy the sight when they used to enjoy their dinner.Yes,I wasn’t eating then.Those days they used  to prepare rottis at home … 
                     
                                    I have tried different recipes with this dish . I adapted  this recipe from my facebook friend Preethi Mukesh Rao .The gravy of this dish is slightly thin since we soak the rotti in it and relish.Not to forget to mention , this is my son’s most favourite dish and he proves to be a pure Mangalorean boy . I had prepared this dish much before blogging and have very few pictures . Few days back I had posted one more Bunt speciality Kori Sukkha
