Kerala village style fish curry


Why Kerala food is so inviting ??

"It's because Kerala food is based on fresh spices, herbs and fish best protein.
 And when you and I look at the list of Kerala food, and notice the fresh herbs and multitude of spices used in cooking, it truly is a huge contributing factor as to why this State cuisine is so flavorful and exciting to eat. 
Versatile cuisine with a prevalence for puttu, appam, idiyappam,idlis and other rice-based dishes, there are also opportunities for plant-based meals in almost every home.
