One
of the most memorable experience for the tourist visiting Kerala
is the opportunity to enjoy the backwaters of Kerala on a house
boat (Kettuvallam). The boats cross shallow palm -fringed lakes
studded with cantilevered Chinese fishing nets and cruise along
the narrow shady canals. On the way one can see the real Kerala
village life. Alappuzha or Alleppey is an important tourist centre
in Kerala because of its amazing backwaters. A number of boat races
are conducted every year. more.....
Even
the Kerala cuisine is known for its spicy and hot foods. Traditionally,
in Kerala food is served on a banana leaf. One has to take food
with right hand. Almost every dish prepared in Kerala has coconut
and spices to flavour the local cuisine giving it a sharp pungency
that is heightened with the use of tamarind, while coconut gives
it its richness, absorbing some of the tongue-teasing, pepper-hot
flavours. Tender coconut water is a refreshing nutritious thirst
quencher. The crunchy papadam, banana and jackfruit chips can give
french-fries a run for their money any day. more.....
