Comments: The sample recipes are from  "Kodava Theeni", published by the Karnataka Kodava Sahithya Academy, Madikeri. Translation by Mrs. Boverianda Maya Muddaiah, Bangalore.
Ingredients:  
  Pork - 1 kg.
Red Chilly Powder - 6 teaspoons
Turmeric Powder - 4 teaspoons
Kachampuli - 5 teaspoons (Concentrated tamarind juice may be substituted)
Cummin Seed - 2 teaspoons
Garlic - 2 cloves
Raw Coriander Seed Powder - 5 teaspoons
Small Onions - 10
Curry Leaves - 10
Ginger - 2 inches
Green chillies - 4
Cloves - 8
Cinnamon - 5 pieces
Salt - to taste
Water - 6 cups
Method:  
  Wash the pork well. Drain out all the water by pressing the pork pieces.
Rub salt, chilly and turmeric powder on the pork and keep for about 10 minutes (The longer it is marinated, the better).
Cook on a low flame until all the water dries out. Keep stirring or shaking so that the pork does not get stuck to the bottom of the vessel. When all the water dries out, fat will start oozing out of the pork. At that time add a little water and keep the vessel covered.
Finely chop and pound green chillies, onions, roasted cummin seed, garlic, ginger and curry leaves. Add this when the water boils. To the boiling curry add cloves and cinnamon and stir well. Keep vessel covered. Fry the raw coriander powder on a pan until it becomes coal black. Add it to the curry when all the water has dried up. When the porkis cooked, add the Puli juice. Stir well and remove.

Comments: The sample recipes are from "Kodava Theeni", published by the Karnataka Kodava Sahithya Academy, Madikeri. Translation by Mrs. Boverianda Maya Muddaiah, Bangalore.
Ingredients:  
  1. Rice Flour - 1 Cup
2. Cooked rice (cooked soft and cooled) - 1/2 cup
3. Salt - 1/4 teaspoon (or to taste)
Method:  
  Place rice in a large plate. Knead it to remove any lumps. Add rice flour a little at a time and knead to a soft dough. Divide the dough into lime size balls and flatten each ball with your hands to a disc shape. Keep a plastic sheet on a rolling board. Flatten the disc on the board into a thin round otti, using a little water to dampen your hand. (A rolling pin and dusting of rice flour may be used to roll the otti). Keep the flattened
otti on your right palm and gently peel off the plastic sheet with your left hand. Place it on the hot pan with the side touching the plastic sheet facing down. Turn it over after 3 minutes. Take it out after 5
minutes. (Note - timing may vary depending on the heat of the pan). Place it on the burning embers or directly on gas. Keep turning it. The "Otti" will puff up and get done. Do not let it get burnt. Once done place "Otti" in a basket lined with cloth.

Scrape it fine with a sharp scraper. put this into a vessel containing water and stir it brusquely with a lemon tree's branch (because this branch is made up of many thorns). This brusque stirring with circular motion removes all long thread. This process must continue until all thread like substance is removed fairly well.
Drain off the water. Wash it again and this is ready for cooking.

1/2 Kg of plantain tree cortex (cleaned)
1/2 Teaspoon of curry powder or masala powder (mixture of Red Chilli, Cummin seeds, Coriander seeds,Dhal,Rice all fried and powdered)
1/2 Coconut

1 Medium size Onion
2 Green chillies
1 Teaspoon of mustard seeds
1 Teaspoon of Tamirind Juice(tamarind soaked in a little water which is squeezed)
Salt and Saffron powder to taste.
Method:  
  Mix the cleaned cortex (Kamb) with 1 spoon of salt,1 teaspoon of saffron powder, 1/2 teaspoon of curry mixture or masala powder and 1 spoon of tamarind juice
In a vessel pour a spoon of cooking oil and allow it to heat. Season with cummin seeds, 1 tomato cut to smallpieces, 2 pods of garlic(smashed) , 1or 2 red chillies broken to pieces and seasoning leaves. Now add the Kamb.
