Mangalorean Catholic cuisine

Mangalorean Catholic cuisine is the cuisine of the Mangalorean Catholic community which is an important aspect of the culture of Mangalorean Catholics.

Mangalorean Catholics are Catholic Christians from Mangalore and the rest of the historical South Canara area by the southern coast of present-day Karnataka, India. Most Mangalorean Catholics share ancestry with Goan Catholics, as they migrated from Portuguese Goa to the Keladi Kingdom, between 1560 and 1763, following their Christianisation. The migrations continued during the Portuguese Inquisition, the Mahratta Invasion of Goa and Bombay etc. After their migrations, they adopted some aspects of local Mangalorean culture, but also retained some elements of their Konkani way of life.
