Cuisine Style of Kerala

Keralites are fond of good food and produce some of the tastiest foods on earth. The cuisines are generally hot and spicy offering great taste and vigour. Kerala’s food is rich in coconut, chilies, curry leaf, mustard seed and tamarind. The Keralites have love in rice and fish.

Keralite’s morning meal consists of a dose of coffee followed by soft idlis or dosas served with chutney and sambar. Seasonal appams or periappams, made by mixing this paste with tomatoes, onions and other handy vegetables are also taken as morning breakfast.

Mead-day meal consists of rice soaked with moru (curd or butter milk) or rasam and a variety of vegetable curry or fish. Most dishes are cooked with coconut oil with extensive use of spices. These traditional meals are served on banana leaves.
