Dining
The state of Kerala is famously referred to as 'the land of spices', a reputation reflected in its cuisine, which makes generous use of turmeric, pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, and many other spices. A culinary experience not to miss is the 'sadya spread'—a meal served on a banana leaf, traditionally eaten by hand. This spread includes rice, a variety of curries, and desserts.
