Why
Kerala cuisine
is special
Kerala is widely praised for flavorful fish and prawns freshly caught along its tropical palm-fringed sea coast.
Famous
Kerala cuisine
specialties
Fish Curry
This simple name doesn't do justice to Kerala's version made with the excellent local pomfret fish or the tuna-like seerfish netted in the ocean the same day the cook prepares it.
Fish Mollee
Cooked in a coconut milk based broth. It's best when made with the commendable freshwater kerimeen (pearl spot) fish, caught daily in Kerala's beautiful tropical backwaters.
Grilled Keralan prawns
These rich flavored crustaceans deserve their premium price.
Appam
A spongy, soft stringy textured rice bread, similar to the idiappam of Karnataka. It's perfect for sopping up Kerala's savory sauces.
Palm Toddy
A potent local juice ranging in alcoholic strength from sweet-weak to sour-strong.
