You know how there are a few restaurants whose names instantly spring to mind when you think of a particular cuisine? Well, Ente Keralam is one of those when it comes to food from God’s Own Country. The menu is massive and you will need a few visits to get through it all. The 'Aattin Soup' – mutton broth with shallots and curry leaves is great for a cold afternoon (or otherwise too). You could end your meal if you like on the 'Kaithachakka' or 'Pineapple Rasam'. For your starters, try the 'Chena Dry Fry', a spicy yam fry with a tempering of curry leaves. You could also have the 'Kozhukatta Masala', steamed rice dumplings in an onion tamarind masala. The 'Banana Flower Cutlets' is a signature dish. If there is one thing that characterizes Kerala cuisine, it is its ability to incorporate vegetables that usually not seen in the mainstream at all. For the meat eaters, go with the 'Erachi Ularthiyathu', a Syrian Christian styled beef fry. If you like your fish, then the 'Neimeen Polichathu', seer fish marinated and grilled in a banana leaf is great. You could also try the 'Pan Fried Chicken in a Tomato Onion Masala' or the 'Attirachi Kurumulakittathu', mutton fry with pepper. Mains could be a mix of classics like the 'Avial', or 'Kadala Curry' or 'Pachakari Stew', or something a little different like the 'Vendakka Mappas', 'Okra in Spices' and 'Coconut Milk'. There is also a great selection for meat and fish lovers – the 'Thalaserry Meen Curry', or the 'Chemmeen Roast' is brilliant. Perhaps you could try the 'Classic Kappa Meen Curry' with the tangy anchovies curry. 'Red boiled rice is also available as is the 'Thalassery Biryani'. It is the 'Ila Neer Payasam' – tender coconut payasam that rules here. Ente Keralam is also a very sought after place for 'Onam Sadyas' every year.
