Its a traditional and popular evening snack of Kerala and my favourite too. Most of the Kerala snack recipes ask for rice flour and coconut since we have enormous paddy fields and coconut palms to provide the raw materials. Avalose podi is a combination product of roasting raw rice flour, grated coconut,cumin seeds and kalonji.Give it a try and enjoy!!!

Kerala Beef Fry is one of the traditional recipes that can be cooked without much effort. The beef is cooked and roasted in coconut oil with the aromatic flavours of Indian spices,curry leaves and roasted coconut. This is still the “most wanted delicacy” from Kerala for those Malayalis staying abroad. The beef that’s available in Kerala has more protein and less fat unlike the beefed up beef of North America.
