Kerala Dish Spices

Kerala cuisine offers a multitude of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes prepared using fish, poultry, and red meat with rice as a typical accompaniment. Chillies, curry leaves, coconut, mustard seeds, turmeric, tamarind, asafoetida, and other spices are also used in the preparation. Kerala's long coastline and numerous rivers have led to a strong fishing industry in the region, making seafood a common part of meals. Kerala is home to numerous lip-smacking dishes prepared out of seafood, some of which include mussels, crab, tiger prawns, king prawns, tiny prawns, oysters, sardines, mackerel, tuna, and gorgeous red lobsters.

Coconut Milk Meat

The vast majority of Kerala's Hindus, except certain communities and ovo-lacto vegetarians, eat fish, red meat (beef, carabeef, and lamb) and chicken. One of the traditional Kerala dishes is vegetarian and is called the Kerala sadya. A full-course sadya is an elaborate banquet prepared for festivals and ceremonies.
