Kerala's Taste

For vegetarians there are many options but you must try out Palada Payasam which is a sweet delicacy. Enjoy some of the veg foods in Kerala. A layered pastry made in North Malabar and Malabar regions of Kerala, Chatti Pathiri is similar to the Italian lasagna. The difference is that, in the Keralite version, flat breads or pancakes made out of flour, eggs, oil and water are used instead of cheese sheets. The filling is the best part of these sugary Kerala dishes! Chatti Pathiri is filled with sweetened beaten eggs, nuts and raisins, and is seasoned with cardamom. You’ll surely forget your western versions of crepe pancakes and pastries once you bite into this one! It is, no doubt, one of the best food to eat in Kerala.
