Kuttari Salad

Soulful coconut curries, crunchy kadipatta (curry leaves), tangy tamarind chutneys… is what comes to mind when you think coastal food. Monkey Bar in Bandra has taken these ingredients and dishes and created a culinary tour of the southern coast, touching base at Udupi, Kundapur, Mangalore and Kerala. “It is a vibrant cuisine, which is now getting represented in mainstream dining. We’ve stayed true to the original flavours but added a playful pub twist to it,” says Manu Chandra, chef-partner, Monkey Bar.
