On The Spice Trail with Tamarind Global
In these strangely housebound times, our lockdown blues appear to be considerably alleviated by
experimentation in the kitchen. At Tamarind Global, we are exploring local cuisines statewise, and will bring
you a meal plan with recipes each week to share our culinary travels.
This week, we begin with one of our favourites, Kerala. Not for nothing is this state known as God’s Own
Country . Did you know that Kerala translates as ‘Land of Coconuts’? The word ‘keram’ in Malayalam means
‘coconut tree’, and the land came to be known as Keralam. When you fly into Cochin, you can see miles and
miles of coconut plantations, and naturally, the cuisine is packed with the goodness of this fruit.
