A delightful fusion of local flavours and culinary traditions

Koraput, in Odisha, provides a vibrant gateway for foodies seeking authentic experience. Boasting an enthralling tapestry of tribal, Odia, and Andhra cuisines - not to mention street food vendors selling delectable street snacks - Koraput promises an exceptional gastronomic adventure that shouldn't be missed.

Tantalising tribal tastes

Koraput cuisine stands out as being popular with tribal tastes due to the use of Mandia or finger millet, often seen in regional tribal food. One special tribal take on Sukua or dried fish found throughout Odisha cuisine is Mandia Sukua Raav; prepared using different types of dried fish along with Mandia for its unique combination with local herbs and spices that enlivens this dish with flavour.

Koraput's tribal treasure, Mandia Tampa is an exquisite dish featuring finger millet porridge containing grounded ragi that's been cooked with broken rice in hot water - this rustic and earthy flavor provides a truly special taste experience! Locals have long enjoyed Mandia Ruti - a finger millet Indian flatbread known for its rustic charm that pairs beautifully with local curries and vegetables.

Koraput's tribal cuisine features many delectable treats, one being Mandia Sijha Pitha - finger millet steamed dumplings with sweet and savoury notes wrapped in banana leaves before being roasted to perfection - giving these aromatic bites their distinctive taste that lingers on your palate!

Mandia Kandul Raav, made with finger millet flour, whole pigeon peas (Arhar dal) and local spices is often eaten before work for long-lasting satiation.
