Tastes
of Kerala
Aside from the boiled product eaten as
a staple, powdered into flour, it is
used to make a wide range of snacks and breakfast like puttu, the round
spongy vattayappam, the lacy edged palappam, the sweet unniyappam,
the idiyappam that looks like fine noodles, pathiri etc. The stew is
a delicious dish, vastly popular among Syrian Christians. The
traditional Kerala meal is served on a plantain leaf with rice as
the staple cereal and dishes like thoran, kalan, pachadi, olan,
avial etc. complete the Kerala's unique 'sadya'. In the cuisine of
northern Kerala, biriyani has a special place.
