Kerala Kitchen

When traditional Kerala food is served, the concept of courses is alien to them. A typical Kerala meal is a combination of several dishes such as boiled rice or chappathi, a meat dish, a vegetable dish, a pulse dish, a sauté, a thoran (a mix of vegetable or meat or seafood with coconut and spices), a curry, a pickle and one form of buttermilk. Rice is the main dish and all other dishes that are rich in spices, flavor and aroma are accompaniments. This cookery book contains selected recipes by the author, specially designed to get the best of Kerala's unique culinary palette.
