Kerala owes its culinary practices to Hindu, Arab, European and other Asian influences, leading to an array of delicious dishes on both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian side, with seafood appearing quite often on the menu due to Kerala’s geographic proximity to the ocean.
Served throughout South India, the dish’s flavorful, aromatic taste and substantial nutritional value have earned it a spot on Kerala’s breakfast club.

Prepared with fish, a coconut-based curry, and grandma’s love, this seafood dish is often eaten with rice or bread to take advantage of the delicious, comforting gravy.
