What is your favourite food in Kerala cuisine?

 Being a vegetarian, I haven't been able to try the various supposedly delicious meat recipes of Kerala, including beef ularthiyathu.

But here are my favourites which I make sure to hog when in Kerala.

Puttu kadala curry
Pazhan kanji with all the sides
Kappa puzhukku

Occasionally I enjoy these recipes at Kumarakom restaurant in Chennai.

Paal ada payasam

Paalada payasam I enjoy occasionally at my workplace where many Mallus work. In fact two of my past bosses were both Mallu women and boy, the payasams used to be heavenly!
