Kundapur Style Kori Gassi
Kundapur Style Kori Gassi is a traditional and flavorful South Indian curry made with country chicken (kori) and a rich, spicy coconut-based gravy. This dish hails from the coastal town of Kundapur in Karnataka, India. The gravy is typically made with a blend of roasted spices, coconut, tamarind, and other aromatic ingredients, resulting in a deliciously fragrant and creamy curry. It is best enjoyed with steamed rice or neer dosa.
