Unniappam
These cute little hemispheres are sweet in taste and one of the popular traditional snacks that most Malayalis grow up eating.

They are given their characteristic shape by deep frying them in specific moulds in which several can be prepared at once.

Achappam
Achappam, aka rose cookies, is another glorious homemade snack reminiscent of childhood. It is a beloved snack for children who like to break it into rings and wear them on their fingers. A sweet tidbit, it is made from a batter of rice flour, which is dipped in the characteristic mould and placed in hot and sizzling oil. It is thus that the name is derived, from the word achu, which stands for ‘mould’ in Malayalam.
Ela ada
A sweet delicacy, ada is made of rice powder, which creates a jacket with fillings made up of jaggery and grated coconut.

It is also consumed as breakfast in some parts of Kerala.

Living in a coastal area where fishing is prevalent, people consider a meal incomplete without fish. A popular dish among tourists is Fish Moilee, made with fleshy fish half-fried and soaked in coconut milk with ingredients like cardamom, cinnamon, and clove.

This moment became known as the Oath of the Bent Cross.
