UPDATE: Kerala Kitchen round up for January 2011, the very first has been posted here
Welcome to Kerala Kitchen - a cooking club for those who are in love with Kerala! I started this group with fellow mallu and talented blogger Ria of Ria's collection as a way to meet foodies who share a similar passion for cooking.
This is a food blogging event where we will meet every month to share the dishes we have cooked that are inspired by the flavors of Kerala. Be it by the cuisine itself, that features dishes as varied and delectable as those of the Onam Sadhya to the Malabar parotta or Syrian Christian "ishtoo" or inspired by the flavours of unmistakably Kerala ingredients like the blazing heat of aromatic spices, the sweetness of jaggery and creamy coconut milk, the tang of tamarind or the myriad tastes, smells, textures and sights that remind you of this little state proudly called "God's own country".
Edited to add: To introduce some friendly food blogging competition, Kerala Kitchen will be giving badges for the foll categories:
