Taste of Malabar
For over 2000 years, Kerala has
been visited by ocean-goers, including traders from Greece, Rome, the eastern Mediterranean, Arab
countries,and Europe . Thus, Kerala cuisine is a blend of indigenous dishes and foreign dishes adapted to
Kerala tastes.
In Kerala, your dishes are served on a huge fresh banana leaf, a disposable platter. Contact with your food is
direct and tactile as you eat with your right hand, mixing wet into dry ingredients – a messy business for the
uninitiated.
