Where to eat

The cuisine of Central Travancore is a meat lover's delight, with lot of emphasis on chicken, beef, mutton and pork. The domination of Kerala Christianity (Nasarani) culture has effectively created many unique dishes, many assimilated from West Asian or European culture. Since the region falls within spice belt, most of the dishes are extremely spicy and absolutely tasty.
