Motta (egg) roast
This dry egg dish is loved in combination with Kerala porotta and appam.
Pumpkin Tamarind curry
This recipe is from the South of Kerala. I was intoduced to it by my mother-in-law. It is a nice combination of sour taste of tamarind with the mild sweetness of pumpkin.
Kerala style broccoli
Broccoli is not very common in India, but now increasingly available in the city super markets. Here is a broccoli preparation using coconut and the kerala style of preparing food. I love it!!!
Puttu
Puttu is unique to Kerala. It is one of the most loved breakfast among Keralites. Combined with kadala curry, it makes a well balanced diet. Preparation requires a special vessel called the puttu maker.
Idiappam/Noolputtu
This is again unique to Kerala. It looks like noodles and can be called steamed rice noodles. It requires an idiappam maker/ presser and Idli maker/ steamer. It is usually enjoyed with peas curry, kadal curry , egg curry or with steamed bananas.
