Curated & VerifiedNon-VegetarianKori Thuppa Roast
ಚಿಕನ್ ತುಪ್ಪ ರೋಸ್ಟ್
A fiery, glossy Mangalorean classic where chicken is slow-roasted in thuppa with roasted Byadgi chillies until deeply caramelised.
The Story Behind This Recipe
My mother made this every Sunday in our Mangaluru home. The secret is letting the Byadgi chillies roast slowly until they deepen to a mahogany red — no shortcuts. We would eat it with neer dosa folded into small triangles, the dosa absorbing every drop of the glossy masala.

- 500g chicken, bone-in
- 10 dried Byadgi chillies
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 4 tbsp thuppa
