Regional Cuisines
Malabar / Kerala Cuisine
Malabar and Kerala cuisine is the spice-coast tradition — coconut, curry leaf, fresh seafood, appam, and Syrian-Christian and Moplah influences. MyTripMyTravel curates it through vetted kitchens across the Kerala circuit.
Kerala's table is a direct product of the spice coast — coconut in every register, curry leaf, tamarind, and centuries of Arab, Syrian-Christian, and Moplah trade influence layered over a base of fresh seafood and rice.
It is distinct from the north in technique and ingredient entirely; the curation routes to kitchens — backwater, coastal, plantation — that cook the genuine regional repertoire, not a hotel pan-Indian menu.
MyTripMyTravel matches the Kerala table to the leg: a backwater houseboat sadya, a Fort Kochi seafood table, a plantation-estate spread in the highlands.
It has one of India's strongest vegetarian traditions (the banana-leaf sadya) alongside its seafood; dietary needs are planned across the party.
It is sequenced into the Kerala circuit, reachable by the chauffeured fleet, and scales through the dining wing.
