God’s Own country is a foodie’s paradise too. From Thattu Dosa to crispy Parippu Vadas, here are some tantalising street foods that will leave you craving for more.
The term ‘thattu dosa’ comes from ‘thattukada’, which refers to street-side eateries in Kerala. Thattu dosa is very soft and nearly the size of your palm.
Parippu vada is also known as dal vada. Dal is ground and then seasoned with onion, coriander, ginger, green chillies and curry leaves. Slurping much?
Also called ‘ethakka appam’, pazham pori is a quick, hassle-free snack made with sliced banana, dipped in batter of flour, water, egg, oil, sugar and salt, and then deep fried.
Move over KFC, Kerala’s Kozhi Porichathu is here to brighten up our day. This deep-fried chicken thathas been marinated in a spice paste has all our heart.
Crunchy skin and white flesh, this Kerala-style fried fish is usually made with sardines. Fish is first marinated in spices and then deep-fried until the masala is brown.
