Been a long time I did not feature any food, didn't I? This evening I went with an Indian friend to the outskirt of Little India for a taste of Kerala. There are so many restaurants from the South East coast (Tamil) but the ones from the South West are quite scarce. The food is definitely different. Lots of marinated dishes with a mix of hot but subtle spices. And the coconut...! The coconut is everywhere. From the new things I tried there was a Kozhi Varutharachathu which is a chicken cooked in aromatic gravy of roasted coconut and spices and a very filling puttu wich is made of coarse rice flour steamed with grated coconut in a tube shaped mould (picture above). But what I usually enjoy most is the Sambharam (also called Butter milk). And no, there is no butter inside! It is a very refreshing drink made out of yoghurt with some curry leaves, cumin, ginger and green chilli.
