A true seasonal indulgence, born from Kodava’s heart. Made with ripe jackfruit and rice, Koovale Puttu is a Kodava breakfast delicacy steamed in Koovale leaves, making it a truly unique treat. The natural sweetness of the jackfruit harmonizes perfectly with the subtle rice flour base, offering a balance of flavour that’s adored in Kodava culture. Chef Lawrence calls Koovale Puttu the sweet reminder of the fleeting beauty of the seasons. For him, the beauty of Koovale Puttu lies in the freshness of the ingredients—especially the jackfruit that is only available at specific times of the year. It’s a dish that speaks to seasonality and simplicity, where the ingredients are the stars, and the dish is a true celebration of nature’s abundance.
