It's strange how despite restaurants in the city opening themselves up to diverse cuisines, the sound of something local and homegrown still excites the senses. That's why Mangalore Kitchen in Nana Chowk beckoned one Friday evening, where even the rain couldn't put a dampener on plans. Having grown up on Mangalorean fare at home, this writer has developed a certain fondness for coconut-based curries and sabzis, and walking in, the idea was to hope for the same culinary magic to emerge from the kitchen.
