Coorg’s first dedicated website for indigenous Kodava receipes, www.coorgrecipes.com started in 2007, has been redesigned to focus exclusively on Coorg cuisine.

While retaining most of the earlier features, a few new features have been added.

Commenting on the redesign, the promoter of the website, journalist P T Bopanna said: “Earlier, the recipe website had a section for ‘Coorg jewellery.’

However, I wanted to focus totally on food. With the creation of the new jewellery website www.coorgjewellery.in, it became necessary to redesign the recipes site.”

Chef Naren Thimmaiah, of the Karavalli restaurant of the Taj Gateway Hotel in Bangalore has contributed recipes for the ‘Recipe of the Month’ section.

Among the new additions, include a link to the blog of Canada-based Kodava food blogger Shalini Nanda Nagappa on her culinary adventures in ‘A Cookery Year in Coorg.’

Another new section called ‘Coffee with Priya Ganapathy’ deals with the making of the perfect cup of coffee and varieties of coffee liqueur.

Renowned cartoonist N.S. Ponnappa’s cartoons on the obsession of the Kodavas (Coorgs) with good food and hard liquor have been retained.
