Food in Kerala – 3 Myths Busted!

It is rightly said, “Count the memories... not the calories…” Food can get the best out of you. Indulge your taste buds without guilt while you are on your favorite Kerala Package Tour! God’s own Country has God’s own Cuisine. Healthy and delicious, it appeals to all.

Cuisine decoded for Travelers

Our country is blessed with a huge assortment of cuisines. Each based on fresh, locally produced ingredients and the culture of that region. Each cuisine has developed and matured over centuries, thus making it starkly contrasting from what is available even 500 kms away.
There are a few misplaced concerns about the kind of food available in Kerala. Well, let’s brush away some conventional thoughts that have been floating around, about the food of the region. 


1. You have minimal choices!


Busted! Nothing can be further from the truth. God’s own cuisine has much to offer for everyone, vegetarian or not. Try out the delicious Puttu and Kadala Curry. As cute as its name is, Puttu is a cylindrical shaped steamed rice cake cooked with grated coconut. One of the staples of Kerala breakfast items, Puttu is often served with what is known as Kandala Curry. If you are in the mood for non-vegetarian, try out the NadanKozhiVaruthathu (Spicy Chicken Fry). The Keralaversion of a chicken fry with curry leaves and local spices will leave you yearning for more.




2.Limited or no options of Cooking Medium!

Travelers, especially from Eastern India, do not have a preference for dishes cooked in coconut oil for the strong aroma. It is needless to say that coconut oil is packed with antioxidants making it one of the healthiest options. Kerala is a destination that caters to travelers not just from the rest of India, but from across the world. Most of the food joints now provide ample variation in what they serve. In case you are still apprehensive about the cooking medium, most restaurants offer a choice. Be sure to specify your choice of the cooking medium before you place your order. Or you could just be adventurous!


3. All dishes have the same Palate!

People tend to think that dishes from Kerala are dominated by one taste group. Busted again! Authentic Food in Kerala is traditional, healthy, spicy and has way more complexities to itthan just being tart. God’s abode, Kerala lives up to the exquisite title that has been given to it as it takes you on a gastronomical quest of extraordinary food items. These are so appetizing that they appear to be right out of 'God's Own Kitchen'!  Try “Payasam” and you will fall in love with the layered variations of sweet punctuated by little taste bombs! Bengal has a similar version of it known as “Payesh” and thus this becomes a must-try for all.
Kerala gives ample of choices when someone’s palate looks for variation. So the next time you are planning a Kerala Holiday Package, discover the hidden gem – the food of the region!
