Flavours of a Kerala Kitchen

Simple Pleasures on a Plate

  A Taste of Kerala Home Cooking

There’s something deeply comforting about a plate of Kerala meals – it’s not just food, it’s a feeling of home.

In this picture, the plate holds warm white rice, gently steamed and fluffy, ready to soak in the flavours of a homely red chicken curry. The curry, rich in coconut and spices, is slow-cooked with love – bold, comforting, and just the right amount of heat.

On the side, you’ll spot cabbage thoran, a humble stir-fry of finely chopped cabbage tossed with grated coconut, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Light, healthy, and delicately spiced – it's the balance every meal needs.

Next to it sits kovakka mezhukkupuratti (ivy-guard stir-fry), a Kerala classic, pan-fried till tender and slightly crisp, with a touch of onion and pepper.

This is everyday Kerala on a plate – no frills, just real food, made with care. A reminder that a simple, well-balanced meal can be deeply satisfying.

Have you tried a meal like this recently? Btw, we're skipping fish for couple of days as a container ship with hazardous cargo has sunk around our coastline.
