4. Puttu and Kadala Curry



A staple breakfast dish in Kerala, Puttu is a cylindrical steamed rice cake served with Kadala Curry, a flavorful black chickpea curry. The combination of the soft, crumbly texture of Puttu and the spicy, aromatic flavors of Kadala Curry makes for a delightful start to the day.

5. Sadya



For a traditional Kerala feast experience, don't miss Sadya. Served on a banana leaf, Sadya is a lavish spread of vegetarian dishes including rice, sambar, rasam, avial, thoran, and various other accompaniments and desserts. It's a culinary extravaganza that showcases the diversity and richness of Kerala cuisine.

6. Seafood at Fort Kochi
