As for every best list, here is some inspiration for you before your next visit. These are some photos from one of our favourite – Coconut Lagoon and Babajis Kitchen.

Kerala food is famous for its rich flavours and use of fresh ingredients. Coconut is used a lot in cooking, whether as grated, coconut milk, or oil. Rice is a staple food, and it’s often served with curries made from vegetables, fish, or meat. Kerala is also known for its spicy dishes, using lots of green chilies, black pepper, and curry leaves. Popular dishes include appam (a type of rice pancake), puttu (steamed rice cake), and fish curry. The food is usually healthy and full of flavour, perfect for anyone who loves spice and variety!
