Rockying presents to you an exclusive food journey that this state of spices offers.Our Food Notebook marks Kerala as the best spot for mad hoggers who are crazy about South Indian food. Curiosity awaits our exclusive photographic journey that brings out the best of Kerala. Time for some visual food spa, folks!
- IDLI AND COCONUT CHUTNEY
Delve into the softness of freshly steamed idlis and creamy coconut chutney and
realize the dual existence of mankind- one on your food plate and one as a quintessential
human. Kerala offers this delicacy in every nook and corner and it promises to change
every Indian into a South Indian food fan.
- DOSA AND SAMBHAR
Slurrrrp is the word for this and nothing more. People in South India treat Sambhar
as their beer and it won’t be wrong to say that they binge drink on it. Dosa is
the most amazing thing on earth created by South Indians and Rockying’s Food Notebook
lists this as one of the healthiest diets around the world.

Rockying is simbly not
rambling when it says that Kerala’s 'chai ki patti' is to die for. Having
tea is a ceremony and people in India spend time actually doing it. Kerala is dotted
with hundreds of tea shops that sell vada and chai. Suit your taste from liquor
teas to green teas to many exotic brands. This is Kerala’s delightful brew. If you
are tired of sipping it up, you will surely not get tired of visiting sprawling
plantations.
A tip: do not forget to mention the kattan of your cuppa. Kattan signifies
the strength of the tea that is, strong, medium or light. Nirvana.
- KERALA POROTTA
White gajras and Kerala Porottas, these two are the most commonly found things in Kerala. It is not our plain tawa roti, not a naan, and nor it is our North Indian oil-dripping parantha! Porotta is extremely soft and prepared in pure ghee. Health freaks can choose to prepare it in olive oil. Keralites have it with vegetable curries, mutton gravies or simply have it with tea. Additional ingredients are egg and milk that makes Porotta get the highest YUM-quotient in the city of temples.

Well. You must have used that lip balm of yours or a body butter that boasts of having been made of passion fruits and the like. Here it goes. Passion fruits are as cheap as Rs 5 to Rs 10 in Kerala and can be found in excess!!! Go gorge. Unlimited. Rub it on your skin, eat it up or simply auction it out- Kerala offers the best of fruits in excess and can exhibit your fruit obsession at its best.
- COCONUTS AND COCONUT MEAT
