TRADITIONAL FOOD IN KERALA

 This Southern region of India is a haven of tranquil backwaters, serene beaches, exotic wildlife and lush mountains. It’s also home to its own unique and colourful cuisine. Kerala cuisine has an abundance of coconut, rice, tapioca and spices like black pepper, cloves, cinnamon and ginger. The region is also famous for its Sadhya, served at the Hindu festival Onam and consisting of boiled rice and a host of vegetarian dishes on a banana leaf. Kerala cuisine also features a lot of seafood like fish, prawns, mussels and crabs because of its long coastline.These dishes are available in our famous bakery.

Don’t leave Kerala without trying…

Puttu and kadala curry

This is a breakfast staple eaten all over the state. Puttu is a cylindrical steamed rice cake cooked in a mould with grated coconut. It's usually served with kadala curry, a dish of black chickpeas made with shallots, spices and coconut milk, that can also be served with ripe bananas and grated coconut.

Palada payasam

A sweet rice kheer prepared with palada is a delicacy made in almost all Kerala households during the festival of Onam and many other special occasions. There are many variations of it, however, the traditional recipe uses only basic ingredients like rice ada, milk, sugar and ghee. Rice ada is easily available in Indian Kerala grocery stores. Palada payasam available in our top bakery food and drinks.

Banana fritters

Pazham pori or Ethakka appam are juicy banana fritters tha feature as a traditional tea time snack. They're available in our good bakery and they make simply ripe bananas coated with plain flour and deep-fried in oil.

​Idiyappam & Curry

Idiyappam is one of the most relished dishes in Kerala. These thin vermicelli are made with rice flour, salt and water. The strands are tucked together to give texture to the Idiyappam. These are traditionally served alongside any curry. The rich texture and plain taste of this dish complement savoury curries like egg curry perfectly. These are also known as ‘Noolappam’ in the state.

Nadan Kozhi Varuthathu (Spicy Fried Chicken)

How can we talk about popular dishes from Kerala and not mention non-vegetarian delicacies? Nadan Kozhi Varuthathu is made with garlic, onion, vinegar, coriander and chilli to ensure spiciness. It is traditionally served on a banana leaf, abiding with the culture of the state. Most chicken lovers already swear by fried chicken. This fiery Kerala dish only takes things to the next level! You can eat Nadan kozhi varuthathu in our best restaurant in trivandrum. 

Pathiri

A specialty from the Malabar region in North Kerala, this is a part of the famous Moplah cuisine of the Muslims of Kerala. It is a thin round pancake made from rice flour, and is eaten in combination with curries, primarily non-vegetarian curries such as chicken and mutton. Like appam, it can be consumed at any time of the day, and requires a spicy or flavourful curry to go with its otherwise bland taste.

Plum Cake

FOOD ADDITIVES & THEIR EFFECTS

Food additives are chemicals that keep foods fresh or enhance their colour, flavour or texture. They may include food colorings (such as tartrazine or cochineal), flavour enhancers (such as MSG) or a range of preservatives. Diagnosing sensitivity to food additives needs professional help since all of the symptoms of sensitivity can also be caused by other disorders. A small percentage of people are sensitive to some food additives.

TYPES OF FOOD ADDITIVES

ANTI-CAKING- AGENTS: There are many powdered or granulated foods that absorb water which prevents them from flowing smoothly out of the packaging. Anti-caking agents are additives that are added to these foods so that the powder or granules do not become clumpy or stick together. Some of the anti-caking agents are natural such as bentonite while others are manufactured from natural sources like silicon dioxide and several silicates. Calcium silicate is used as an anti-caking agent, added in table salt as it absorbs both water and oil.

EFFECTS OF ANTI-CAKING-AGENTS: May cause issues in the gastrointestinal tract. Nano particles of silica are used in food products, which means that these have access to human cells. Causes respiratory problems. May cause autoimmune diseases.

ANTIOXIDANTS: Antioxidants are man-made or natural substances that may prevent or delay some types of cell damage. Diets high in vegetables and fruits, which are good sources of antioxidants, have been found to be healthy; however, research has not shown antioxidant supplements to be beneficial in preventing diseases. Examples of antioxidants include vitamins C and E, selenium, and carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin.

EFFECTS OF ANTIOXIDANTS: However, high-dose supplements of antioxidants may be linked to health risks in some cases. Supplementing with high doses of beta-carotene may increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers. Supplementing with high doses of vitamin E may increase the risks of prostate cancer and one type of stroke.

EMULSIFIERS: Emulsifiers are Food and Drug Administration–approved food additives that help products containing immiscible food ingredients, like oil and water, to combine. You can find emulsifiers in plenty of pre-packaged and processed food, including mayonnaise, margarine, meats, ice cream, salad dressings, chocolate, peanut butter and other nut butter, shelf-stable frostings, cookies, crackers, creamy sauces, bread, baked products and ice cream. Emulsifiers can be man-made or naturally occurred.

EFFECTS OF EMULSIFIERS: Difficult breathing, salivation, digestive disorder, heart and joint pain.

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS: Artificial sweeteners, or sugar subtitles, are chemicals added to some foods and beverages to make them taste sweet. They provide virtually zero calories.

EFFECTS OF ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS: Headache, depression, increased risk of cancer and weight gain due to increased appetite.

GLAZING AGENT: Glazing Agent (904) is a popular food additive used to add a glazed surface to foods.
