Coconut, rice, fresh spice and the sea shape one of India's most distinctive cuisines — from the all-veg sadya on a banana leaf to fiery Malabar biryani and crisp parotta. Then wander a spice bazaar to take the flavours home.
A first plate through Kerala's kitchens, north to south.
The grand vegetarian banquet served on a banana leaf — rice with a dozen-plus sides like avial, sambar, thoran and olan, finished with sweet payasam. The centrepiece of Onam and weddings.
Lacy, bowl-shaped rice-and-coconut hoppers, soft in the middle and crisp at the edge, served with a gently spiced vegetable or chicken coconut-milk stew.
Steamed cylinders of ground rice layered with coconut, paired with a dark, spicy black-chickpea (kadala) curry — a beloved Kerala breakfast.
The fragrant northern biryani — short-grain khaima/jeerakasala rice, layered with spiced meat, fried onions, cashews and raisins. Thalassery's version is the most famous.
Flaky, layered flatbread torn and dipped into a dark, peppery beef fry (beef ularthiyathu) — the quintessential Kerala "toddy shop" and tea-stall combination.
The prized backwater pearl-spot fish, classically marinated in spices and grilled in a banana leaf as karimeen pollichathu — a Kuttanad speciality.
Coconut in every form — grated, milk, oil — meets the spices that drew the world to Malabar: black pepper, cardamom, clove, cinnamon and ginger.
Strong, milky, sweet tea pulled into a froth at roadside chayakkadas — best with a banana fritter (pazham pori) on a rainy afternoon.
Historic bazaars for spices, tea, coffee, handloom and handicrafts.
The historic spice quarter beside the Paradesi Synagogue — warehouses of pepper, cardamom and tea alongside antique and curio shops.
