Kerala, the land of spices

Kerala is the southern west state that run down the coast, and also known to be the land of spices. The food you get there is unique to anywhere else in India. The rice is even completely different. Its thicker short grain and much more filling I find.
They really like to use coconut, a special curry leaf that I hated, and explosions of spices.

Elana and I went on a day trip to sail through the "backwaters", which we did the cheaper version on a big boat with around 30 people. The best way to go is spend a bit more, get a private overnight boat with personal chef and sleep under the amazing stars. Popular honeymoon attraction.

To be honest, I don't know what everything is that we got in this lunch, but it was spice filled and scrumptious.
