MANGALURU: Come monsoon, one may think of piping hot tea or coffee with some fried snacks to enjoy the rain. However, when it is monsoon, the coastal Karnataka region opens up to a whole new food platter, both veg and non-veg delicacies.
Traditional cuisines come back every monsoon. The monsoon brings home bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms and other wild products found close around the home, especially in rural areas. Another monsoon delicacy is a snail or locally called ‘Konge’ in Konkani.
