Kerala is known as the "Land of Spices" because it traded spices with Europe as well as with many ancient civilizations with the oldest historical records of the Sumerians from 3000 BCE.
Kerala, a state on India's tropical Malabar Coast, has nearly 600km of Arabian Sea shoreline. It's known for its palm-lined beaches and backwaters, a network of canals. Inland are the Western Ghats, mountains whose slopes support tea, coffee and spice plantations as well as wildlife. National parks like Eravikulam and Periyar, plus Wayanad and other sanctuaries, are home to elephants, langur monkeys and tigers.
Kerala cuisine is a culinary style originated in the Kerala, a state on the southwestern Malabar Coast of India. Kerala cuisine offers a multitude of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes prepared using fish, poultry and red meat with rice as a typical accompaniment. Chillies, curry leaves, coconut, mustard seeds, turmeric, tamarind, asafoetida and other spices are also used in the preparation.
Kerala (English: /ˈkɛrələ/ ⓘ/ KERR-ə-lə), called Keralam in Malayalam (Malayalam: [keːɾɐɭɐm] ⓘ), is a state on the Malabar Coast of India. It was formed on 1 November 1956, following the passage of the States Reorganisation Act, by combining Malayalam-speaking regions of the erstwhile regions of Cochin, Malabar, South Canara, and Travancore. Spread over 38,863 km2 (15,005 sq mi), Kerala is the 21st largest Indian state by area. It is bordered by Karnataka to the north and northeast, Tamil Nadu to the east and south, and the Lakshadweep Sea to the west. With 33 million inhabitants as per the 2011 census, Kerala is the 13th-largest Indian state by population. It is divided into 14 districts with the capital being Thiruvananthapuram. Malayalam is the most widely spoken language and is also the official language.
The Kerala backwaters are a network of brackish lagoons and canals lying parallel to the Arabian Sea of the Malabar coast of Kerala state in south-western India. It also includes interconnected lakes, rivers, and inlets, a labyrinthine system formed by more than 900 km (560 mi) of waterways, and sometimes compared to bayous. The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both man made and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range. In the midst of this landscape there are a number of towns and cities, which serve as the starting and end points of backwater cruises. There are 34 backwaters in Kerala. Out of it, 27 are located either closer to Arabian Sea or parallel to the sea. The remaining 7 are inland navigation routes.

I have watched many videos of foreigners eating our Kerala food onboard a houseboat but they don't really say much about the food. There was one from Mark Wiens but after his video you both really seemed to appreciate our food and describe the tastes well. Thank you 🙏🏼 You've earned another subscriber 😊
Thank you so much for watching us we really appreciate your lovely comment 😊

Thank you so much 🙂
Brother, I loved your statement, "We don't need spoon and forks "
Eating food with your hands offers several benefits, including:
1. Enhanced Sensory Experience: Touching food can engage more senses, enhancing the overall eating experience. The texture, temperature, and consistency of the food become more noticeable.
2. Improved Digestion: The practice of eating with hands is thought to stimulate digestive juices in the stomach, which can aid in better digestion.
3. Mindful Eating: Using hands to eat can slow down the eating process, encouraging mindfulness and allowing for better portion control.
4. Cultural Connection: In many cultures, eating with hands is a traditional practice that fosters a sense of connection to cultural roots and heritage.
5. Motor Skills Development: For children, eating with hands can help develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
6. Natural Portion Control: Eating with hands can make you more aware of the amount of food you are consuming, potentially leading to better portion control and preventing overeating.
Wow that’s amazing information thanks so much ❤️🙏🏽
Kerala food is very healthy to to eat .eat wit hand when in India it tasts better you feal the texture before your palat and tongue feels the texture.
We love using our hands as well as fork
His expression was amazing and little funny whenever he tastes food. I suggest other places in Kerala. Munnar, Athirappally waterfall, Wagamon, Waynadu.
We will look into those places thanks so much for your comment
Do not watch gogo eating at night 12 to morning 6 ... U will be hungry and u can't order also ... Gogo makes me hungry always 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Subcribed for God's own country 🙏👍💘💪🫂, love from Kerala
Thank you 👋 😊
Coconut water is good and safe to drink. And the soft and jelly cornel is good to eat.
Coconut water is the healthiest way to start your day
Please visit kadhmir, shimla, Himachal Pradesh,leh and ladhak
Thank you for the recommendation
Go to Munnar 🙏 don't miss that place in Kerala it's our Paradise❤💪
Thank you 👋 😊
Yes, that's exactly what one should try, an El Sadhya on the houseboat! Maybe, go easy on the lime pickle, you should take a small bit, it's way too overpowering in flavour. Anyways, that scenery...Welcome to Kerala.
Thanks for the tips!
So are you guys still in Kerala?
Hi
All our vlogs are a good few weeks behind we don't post real time
Drumsticks is the fruit of the Muringa tree.
Delicious 😋
Pickle's are just for a touch of flavor we don't eat like curry😄.
We do 🤣🤣🤣 especially the lime one it is delicious 😋
❤❤❤
❤️🙏🏽
Fresh Puttu with Cold Coconut milk for Breakfast is delicious. It’s really strange that in Kerala for tourists they offer Stale Puttu and only with Gram curry. They haven’t learnt to cater to foreigner’s palate.
Sounds yummy like rice pudding
That looks like a proper traditional Sadhya meal. Very good houseboat. I have seen a few travellers travelling on houseboats but with a lesser spread. Even when I stayed in one of those houseboats a few years ago, I never got such a lovely elaborate meal.
Yes, you are right this houseboat does the best service and food. We really enjoyed our time on the boat
@@KayandGogo I'll be noting down their contacts for sure.
Adipoli👍
Thank you so much 😊
When you come to Meghalaya, you can come & try the pineapples here as well
Will it be same taste or they do serve different in Meghalaya?
@@KayandGogo It's a little different even within the state. The ones on the northern slopes towards Assam are sweet but will have a little bit of fibre whereas the ones in the southern slopes towards Bangladesh are both sweet & without fibre perhaps because of the natural lime content in the soil. The pineapples from here are now exported to malls in Dubai.
We just deciding dates we going to visit you ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
@@KayandGogo October is the best time
@@KayandGogo November you will find Cherry Blossoms but then waterfalls will start to dry up
9.03 That's pearl spot fish right?
Its King fish
4:01 Hi Mr. Gogo that's not coconut juice we call it coconut water.
Thank you yes that's the correct way
Backwater Heaven.. Thats almost Half Sadhya...
ALLEPPEY you pronounced prefectly.. Technically ALAPUZHA...
Thank you 👋 😊
@@KayandGogo Cheers from #pollachi #town #coimbatore #district #tamilnadu Take care...
You too our friend
Please visit Himachal pradesh❤
Definitely thanks for the recommendation 😊
Visit LuLu mall, Kochi 🎉❤
We visited a mall in kochi
Most malls you cannot vlog also due to music playing its difficult 😕
😂 for what?
Don't drink it continuously for 3 days because you cannot stop drinking in 4th day😢
I was amazed how people drink it when I tasted at first.
It's very natural and pure and has no greed in it and has good heart when you buy from local villagers.
It was good 👍 😌
Guys move to Srinagar to beat the heat...
Great suggestion thank you 😊
U had puttu in ur previous video and u didn't like it and I told u puttu must be fresh otherwise it will be dry and it tastes bad now when u try fresh puttu ur opinion about puttu changed completely
Definitely you are right ✅️
Now we really want to try it with the soft banana thank you so much
Puttu should eat with currys like, kadala curry, beef curry, or with banana and sugar then papadam can also be added.when i was child i used to eat with milk and sugar. There are somany different times of puttu.
@Exploringtheworldforyou we will definitely try especially with the banana sounds yummy 😋 😊 💓
👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
❤
😀😀😀 thank you 👋 😊
In the USA you can buy Muringa leaves powder. Very expensive, though.
Same in uk very expensive
Kerala is also known as God's Own Country. Nice to know that you guys are enjoying. Visit Thekkadi, Wayanad and Munnar.
Yes it certainly is 😀😀
if you can you then absolutely visit andman and nicobars islands or lakshadweep or north east india . out of 3 options you absolutely visit one place if you can if not just search the places and visit next time
Thank you for the recommendations
We have been travelling India for a good few months now and we love it 😀
😂😂😂Gogo put on weight,Kay getting thin 😂❤❤
I'm gaining more weight now we need to walk lots haha 😄
Nice kay, Eat Karimeen fish 🐟
Delicious 😋
not currymean its karimeen😂😂😂
@@faizalshaji00 👍
I usually scrape off only the inner part of the drumstick with my teeth. I dont like the outer part of the drumstick. Very wierd texture
And it is hard as well
@@KayandGogo exactly. I also don't like the texture of the skin
Though you said BEAUTIFUL a few times, the boat you hired is a sub standard one, may be a decade old and badly maintained.( THERE are over 1000 boats in Kerala now average age some 20 years ( some even 45 years old converted ones!)
This is the best boat as those 1000 that you talk about don't go under the bridges as too big haha
We loved our boat as it took us away from the other boats that all go to the same place so the experience is not unique.
We saw all the fancy boats crammed together definitely not for us.
@@KayandGogo My intention was not to question your choice based on so many things.
Fact is the BOAT is not an antique one as it would have been renovated dozen times. It IS an old boat seen from the fittings and interiors. Boat's interiors are decorated with a theme.
What you preferred is a different subject itself.
Just because you preferred one boat that need not be the best in the market. Every youtuber appreciates what he shows( unless there is an agenda or bad experience.
Anyway if you liked, so be it. Thanks for visiting.
For us the boat was very beautiful it was a luxury for us as we budget travel.
Like us many tourists are interested in the route and the journey not so much the renovation.
We were so lucky with our boat we had the whole lake all night to ourselves this to us is beauty. It was so tranquil and peaceful we heard the sounds of the nature. Really a wonderful experience 😊
Usaipur is venice of east not allepey
Thank you 👋 😊
Yes we told by lots of Indian people Alleppey is venice of east also we read in our guide book the same
Hi dear can you please visit my village in kerala. Im innkerala now
Hello 👋 what's your village name?
@@KayandGogo kalady, we have old temples, river, churches, farms, simple life and of course, delicicious food😍 Im free to take a you around two days. Where can we meet
Sounds amazing next time we are back we would love that 😀
Try Basmati rice.. its the best variety of rice world ever had.. thief americans even patented it to their name.. but its mentioned in our old scriptures.. id recommend you to go to Barbecue nation.. its branches are all over india.. you pay 10$ once and can eat unlimited, more than 60 dishes.. hospitality is best.. i bet if you dont like that place block me from your channel... just believe me and once go to any Barbecue nation and try to go on weekdays ..
Thanks for the recommendation we shall try 😀
toddy is sour and pungent taste and smells horrible .. they will sell it to foreigners but its a cheap liquor made from coconut tree that locals prefer..I will never tried it though im from kerala
Yes it was a taste I never tasted before. It was fun to taste. I think locals drunk it too
@@KayandGogo i wud suggest you do some research before tasting food and drinks..Some may not be hygienic and u dnt have to get sick in foreign land
We do lots off research we have been travelling India 6 months now and eating at local Street Food spots we don't get sick. I think we had strong stomach haha 😄 our subscribers recommend amazing local spots and Foods.
@@KayandGogo Wish you good luck.. hope u enjoy the country and its rich heritage..
Thank you it's really amazing
ഏതവനാടാ ഇവനെ സദ്യ വിളമ്പാൻ പഠിപ്പിച്ചത്. വിളമ്പുന്നത് മുഴുവൻ തല തിരിവ് ആണല്ലോ. 😂
The man who serve lunch , is doing opposite. The dieshs serve from the left to right. Starting from the spicy and end with sweet
As long as the dish is served it doesn’t really matter from left or from right. At the end of the day we had an amazing service with all the staff being super friendly and delicious food and also very very comfortable bed clean room. We can not find tiny little false with the service and boat. If he served the food right to left good on him going against the odds 🙏🏽❤️
@@KayandGogo
I agree with you. But when you introduce a food to a guest, it means you also introduced a culture. Food may same in different parts of the world, but the culture make it unique. And that uniqnes make a guest more satisfying.
So when you introduce a culture through food, the host must follow the tradition. It make the host to proud his own unique identity. This unique identity makes the world different.
As a foreigner you will get traditional Kerala food in most of the Europe, USA and may more parts in the world. The teast will match atleast 80% allover the world (You must find authentic Kerala restaurant). But when you visit in Kerala, you will get the missing 20% through the culture. (Like the coconut alcohol and the local people).
Enjoy your time in Kerala and rest of the India.
With love and respect,
Sarath from Alappuzha (alappy).

I still remember when I was kid serving Sadya (the traditional meal serve in banana leaf), the age-old peoples always give instructions to me that food should be served as traditional way. Because it is linked with our digestive system. From the left top side of the leaf, starting with spicy pickles (mango, lime and ginger). Then thoran(cabage, carrot etc.) following with saure and little sweet curries (pineapple, oolan,kuuttukari...).
Left to right top side of the leaf completed.
Then starting from down side of the leaf right side
Aviyal (you tried the crunchy vegetables). Then middle part, rice should be served along with daal or sambar. Then the bottam left side, 2 pappad. End ofthe bottom left corner Salt, sweet and salty chips for the finanishing touch.
So it's like a oval shape circle.
Why is important to serve in this method ? It's helps the complete digestive system. How ?
1) starting with spicy pickles to alarm the brain that food is coming and need to produce more digestive juices in the stomach.
2) drink a mouthful water to ensure that your mouth and esophagus are wet enough to pass the food.
3) Eat rice with sambar and other dishes.
4) pappad make you a crunchy feelings
5) After finished your main course, it's time for dessert. Traditionally it will be paayasam served in the same Banana leaf. (Use a pappad with payasam is a perfect combination)
The dessert give signal to the brain that your lunch is completed and the brain make you feel like you are experienced a full meal.
6) finally the Salty and sweet chips helps you to freshness in your mouth. (Also have a reason, their is a chance of an omitting tendency when you are traveling or resting. The salty and crispy sweet chips will helps you to overcome this situation.)
That's why traditional Sadya is very important in wedding and rituals.
re you rich....like millionare...how do you afford the expense of travelling
Definitely not we travel on a budget 😃
Hello, please don't visit states like Bihar, uttar pradesh, Jharkhand and Delhi because they are not safe.
We visited many states now
Did you see what happened to us unfortunately in Delhi we were robbed 😢
@@KayandGogo sad to hear that.
@Madreels. thank you 😊 🙏 we will return to Delhi as we want to fund positive things about the city.
Fun fact: Kerala is the only "Red State" in India, which means that the people of Kerala have elected a Communist government. This is the second term for the Communist Party in power in Kerala, with 45.43% of the popular vote.
We didn't know this thanks for sharing
Ohh that's why Kerala has the slowest growth rate 😢😢
yeah so that Kerala is at it's highest debt
lowest employment rate.
future of the Kerala communists is like communists in West Bengal or Russia. No more left liberanda Communists.
yesss... and this is the final era of communist in kerala
@BhavishKumar-hl3fl at least we don't have caste based discrimination, child labour and people pooping in public
