Very Small red onions (not sure of the exact name)
Milk tea to soak slightly and wet the Puttu with sugar optional.

Beef curry or Beef masala fry
Papad boiled?? (kachiyathu) in oil crushd with hand and mixed with puttu.
Squid pickle or any spicy touch on with this is amazing.

The Kerala Traditionals...

Kappa and Meen curry - and one of the evertime favourite of Kerala from the good old days.
Kappa (Tapioca) a widley grown underground root vevichathu (boiled) with the Red special Kerala Fish curry. Its a hot COmbi. Yet another must experience from God;s Own Country.
Added snap is mom's preparation while i was visiting last vacation.
Also a good to try is the Kappa Beef combi in Kerala. Bet you will love it!

Karimeen - The King among Kerala's Fishes

This is a must try even if you are just passing by Kerala.Pearlspot(Karimeen) fry is a real special and what is peculiar is that this fish grows in the lakes and backwaters of Kerala and it tastes awesome and fleshy and juicy. This time too once in Kerala for my vacations Mom and Dad made it sur that Karimeen was there for the dishes. I fact this is a fish we all missed while we were in Mumbai or Bangalore. Each area of Kerala has its own special tastes for the Karimeens (i mean quality differs from lake to lake or from back ater to back water.)Also another amazing preparation of this fish is the Pollichathu of Karimeen wrapped in banana leaves and grilled.

In case you are in cochin, a reccomended kerala lunch at The Grand Hotel with a Karimeen pollichathu will give you some of the best falvours of Kerala.Mind it the lunch costs about 150 Ruppes but worth it!

Some more of the preparations:
The Karimeen Curry,Fish molly with Karimeen and the specail Karimeen thala (head of the Karimeen fired)!
