Walking through lush green coffee plantations with retired serviceman Ganapathy, I received an articulate explanation on the farm-to-cup process. The swashbuckling Ganapathy's stately colonial mansion sits plum in the middle of a large family-run coffee estate, supplying beans to a larger chain of wholesalers and producers. For a coffee addict like me, this was a fascinating experience.
Later that morning, over a cup of freshly brewed Coorg filter coffee, I chatted with his daughter, Anjali, who runs the hugely popular Bengaluru-based Pigout Coorg Kitchen.
Kodava cuisine is unique and completely undiscovered in India, right from the ingredients and meat we use to the cooking styles, Anjali said. Through my food, our homestay and this coffee estate, we want to put Coorg on the map in the most experiential way possible.
As Anjali laid out a spread of her famous pandi (pork) curry, pumpkin curry and rice (akki) rotis, I realised that the Ganapathys' little universe is a destination on the verge of a major tourism revolution.
