Home-Cooked Coastal Mangalorean Meal in Bangalore

Step into Wilma’s kitchen, the heart of her warm and welcoming home in Bangalore, for a 1-hour cooking demonstration. Watch as Wilma expertly prepares traditional Mangalorean dishes, showcasing the art of making appams (fermented rice crepes) or sannas (fluffy steamed rice cakes) paired with a flavorful chicken stew and a seasonal vegetable curry. While this is a demonstration rather than a hands-on class, it’s an engaging opportunity to learn the secrets of her treasured recipes.

Wilma warmly invites you into her apartment located in the charming Cooke Town area of Bangalore. Begin your visit with a refreshing welcome drink as Wilma introduces you to the flavors of Mangalorean cuisine - an enticing blend of spices, coconut, and fresh ingredients like fish, meat, and vegetables. A highlight of Wilma’s home-dining experience in Bangalore is her Mangalorean breads, traditionally made from rice flour. At the dining table, savor a delicious menu that might include chicken stew with hot appams (fermented rice crepes), pork bafat and sannas (spicy pork curry with steamed rice cakes), fresh salad, and flavorful Indian lentils. Conclude your meal with a sweet treat like kheer (rice pudding) or gajar halwa (carrot pudding), leaving you with a taste of Wilma’s heritage and hospitality.
