Kotturu is known for a popular dish called mandakki-menasinakayi, a combination of puffed rice mixed with savouries, served with chili pepper fritters. The chillies are slit lengthwise, stuffed with a mixture of salt and crushed cumin, dipped in lentil batter, and deep-fried.
Historically, Kotturu was known for its cotton ginning industry and as the terminus of a railway line from Hospet. In 2019, this railway line was extended to Harihara and upgraded to broad gauge.
