Come Let's Have Some Food


These are the dishes from my native. (Vadakara of Kerala). These are pure homely food for homely people and you will not get these type of foods in any restaurants. Let me introduce these items for you, thinking you are seeing it for the first time.(parcel order are not accepted :P)

The first one - the big tyres-  my favorite called "ottu pathal". Pathal is a common word for these type of dishes made from grainted  rice. The word "ottu"  has come from the utensil use to prepare this item. There is no other ingredients in it other than rice and is not so hard as it looks.

Second at the left had side is "attippathal". Atti means layes. It will have 6-8 layers of rice which sandwiches spicy non-vegetarian  stuff prepared with coconut and onion. A real mouth watering food item.

Third in the blue plate is "Kunji pathal". Kunji means tiny. You can see that it is a micro version among these pathals. It is backed from steam and will be mixed with a liquid prepared with coconut, turmeric, curry leaves etc.

The other two are curries, one in the front side is chicken with homely cultivated  pepper and other spices. The other one is fish with row coconut fluid. I think the last one -fish fry- is a common dish and not to be introdused

I hope you enjoyed the treat. have it stomach full.
