Taste of Kerala

[aks07]

Do Aviyal (spell??) and Mysore pak qualify as mallu cuisine ? We used to have those a lot when growing up with Keralite neighbours and absolutely loved it.

Only avial or aviyal qualifies. Mysore pak, as the name suggest is from Karnataka state.

Parotta and beef fry.... national food of Trivandrum

 

[GeorgeO]

White lightning to stimulate the appetite with any or all of the following:

Tharaavu (duck) roast, thavala kaal, chemmeen, karimeen fry/pollichathu/moli, and of course to top it all konju made in traditional Kerala style.

For veg food, nothing like attending a Nair wedding and having the sadya!

Adaprathaman, and various other types of payasam to settle the stomach.

This is a serious discussion.

Back in 90's there used to be a nice mallu restaurant at the erstwhile Kanishka Hotel (or was it next doors?) in New Delhi. It used to be a fav place of mine - to balance off the excess of north Indian cuisine whenever i used to visit Delhi.

@George
White lightening? How many %VV ?

 

[santhukp]

avial is a mallu rock band as well

I like their first albhum. its a very high quality rock albhum done by any indian.

I Know the Kanishka one, I went there once.

The white lightening is not tested scientifically-when the moonshiner feels that v/v is ok, they do a "burn test"-if the stuff burns with a blue flame then it is Q.C. check passed! BTW, I have some of it here, waiting to be liberated when you come in December.

Talking of v/v, I recently got a bottle of Bundaberg O.P.rum from Australia. The Aussies fondly refer to it as "Bundy"! I had never heard of this, and did a search on the web, and found that O.P. means overproof, and it is 57.6 v/v. or 40% stronger than the regular stuff-this is also waiting to be liberated by an experienced rum wallah like you!

The great thing about Avial is the way they have blended good malayalam lyrics with Rock!

Appam or Idiyappam with Mutton Stew especially very, very spicy is my personal favorite. I'm not a mallu and don't have very good restaurants for mallu food around here so my wife learnt this and makes it fairly regularly for me.

Some coconut and jaggery sweet dishes (sorry I don't remember the names).

Finally who can forget the mallu Banana chips. One of my best friends is a mallu "Jomon Joseph" who will carry tons of them for me from Kerala. Unfortunately none of the local chip makers can make Banana chips like these.

I believe you're referring to Kalpaga, behind the Music Academy. Their food was really good, like you said, 6-8 years ago. How is it now? Total crap.
