Coorg Breakfast Thali showcases some of its traditional breakfast dishes like the Thalia Puttu, Kootu Curry and Ellu Pajji. You can make this for a weekend brunch and serve it along with a cup of coffee and bowl of fruits to make a complete meal!
Coorg is the former name of the current Kodagu. It is a district in Karnataka and a popular tourist place. Though there is a name change, this cuisine is still Coorg and I went about using the same.
With the theme focusing on regional breakfast thalis, I was happy with the set menu from here. I just went about following the recipes without any change. Let the Puttu word in the dish name not mislead you. This dish is not similar to Kerala puttu, rather resembles an Idli.
We make the batter from the scratch, fermenting overnight using coconut milk. Though it looks like an Idli has more flavours as it involves making it from coconut.
Serve this thalia puttu with Kootu Curry and Ella Pajji. They make this Kootu curry with seasonal vegetables. They make curry traditionally during the season of "Kaveri Sankramana" that is during the monsoon season.
Along with the Kootu Curry, they serve Puttu with Ella Pajji, a chutney with sesame seeds and shallots. This chutney makes it perfect chutney for this breakfast thali. You can complete this thali with a glass of Buttermilk.

I wanted to do one Coorgi thaali but gave up the idea when I cooked two south Indian regional thaalis, prior to planning the final dishes. That thaali is filled with traditional dishes from the region and that kootu curry is on my 'to do' list. Everything sounds delicious.

What a wonderful thali it is. I am trying to imagine the flavors of coconut in the idli. The past few days I have seen so many variations to the kootu curry in my social media feed. I should also try it out soon.
