Mangalore is a town in the state of Karnataka, whose capital Bangalore is familiar with most people as the "Silicon Valley" of India. Food from the state of Karnataka is primarily vegetarian, but I suspect restaurants use names like "Chicken Mangalorean" to differentiate from their other chicken offerings - not sure if there is a recipe that originates in Mangalore. It would be a little like Fresno Chicken! Actually, there are some places in South India that do distinctive sauces - Chicken Chettinad comes from Chettinad in Kerala.

Those who've eaten at one too many professional group lunches, like me, can discuss the virtues of Chicken Akron and its Frenchified relatives, "coq au pierre du feu" and "poulet ala bonne année"! rfgs Mon Oct 11 19:40:14 -0700 2004 341317 0 Rich Gould-Saltman 3 341376 Don't you need a lot of "vin" to down those coquilles? There is a chicken with green chillies - it is called Haryali Chicken - not sure where in LA you get it. You do get a decent version of Chilli Chicken in Tangra Bistro in Cerritos.
