Duck Mappas – Have You Tried This Flavourful Dish From Central Kerala?

[ad_1] It's 2 pm in the afternoon, and I've just entered one of the busiest dining spaces near Kochi. The luxury cars lined up in the parking might suggest a fine dining experience. But there's no host or white glove service; there's not even an electronic billing counter. I spot a cashier with a billing desk. This is not a desk that supports a computer but one where he keeps doodling entries with a piece of chalk. Once he runs out of space; it's time for a clean slate. He wipes it all clean and starts again. This is Mullapanthal, an old-school Toddy shop; once an all-male preserve, toddy shops are the new hub for Instagrammers and families alike.Also Read: 10 Local Dishes in Kerala That You Must TryToddy shops like Mullapanthal are not just attracting hordes of diners for their old-scho...

Meen Manga Pothi – A Delicious Steamed Fish Delicacy From Kerala

[ad_1] A meal at a tiny local restaurant in Siem Reap, Cambodia, a few years ago made me rediscover a dish from Kerala. Years ago, I tried Fish Amok, one of Cambodia's emblematic dishes. Fish Amok is believed to have originated from the royal kitchens of the Khmer Empire (which ruled from the 9th to the 15th Century). There's also a theory that this dish did not originate in Cambodia and might have come from another part of Asia. A few weeks ago, I was at O by Tamara Trivandrum, where one of the highlights of my meal was a Meen Manga Pothi. Mahi-mahi fish steamed in a banana leaf with a flavorful twist of raw mango. It was more than just a dish; it was a dish that brought back memories of fabulous meals in Kerala and Southeast Asia. Fish Amok is usually prepared with catfish. The fish fi...

15 Best South Indian Recipes | Easy South Indian Recipes

[ad_1] Best South Indian Recipes: The smell of crisp vadas, the sound of spluttering mustard seeds, the taste of piping-hot sambar made with fresh tamarind, and the touch of feather-light, soft  idlis - there's no doubt that South Indian food is a treat to the senses. Dosa and chutney are just a brief trailer to a colourful, rich and absolutely fascinating culinary journey that is South India. With its 5 states, 2 union territories, rocky plateau, river valleys and coastal plains, the south of India is extremely different from its Northern counterpart. Needless to say, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have their own cuisines that are rooted in their history and culture.  But before we get stuck into details like ingredients and cooking techniques, let's talk ab...

When Virat Kohli Ate Leftover Food To Avoid Wastage – Kerala Chef Shares “A Beautiful Story”

[ad_1] It's not practically possible to always polish off all the food that's cooked for a meal. We are often left with unconsumed food, which is usually repurposed for the next meal or eaten again as is. If you thought that this is the story of every typical Indian household, you may be wrong. It seems even celebrities like Virat Kohli eat their leftover meals to avoid wastage - and the internet is in awe. A tweet narrating the incident has gone viral and users of the platform are praising Kohli for being so humble and making an effort to prevent food wastage.It all happened back in the year 2018.

Healthy South Indian Vegetarian Recipes From Kerala You Are Sure To Love

[ad_1] I've always believed that wellness food is not about fad diets and the flavour of the season. It's about working on a sustainable, practical diet that doesn't compromise on flavours. If there's one thing we learnt during the pandemic, it's that immunity can't be achieved overnight. It's an outcome of lifestyle choices made over a long period of time. It's the same with healthy food. Work with ingredients that are easily available and are healthy substitutes without obsessing about the calories. A few weeks ago, I was at Amal Tamara, a luxury wellness resort on the edge of the idyllic Vembanad lake near Alappuzha (also known by its former name Alleppey). While the Amal Tamara offers menus that include pan-Indian recipes and international flavours, it's the dishes from Kerala that s...
