The making of a flower dense mala (unda mala in malayalam) using a twist and pull method (pirikkal). For this method you need a sturdy but flexible string such as cuttings from a banana plant or the long reeds from a type of aquatic grasses that grow near rivers. You simply keep the flowers between two strings and give the string a twist enclosing the flower between the two strings. Proceed to do this to make at least 3-4 inches of length and then pull one of the strings to bring all the flowers closer to make a dense garland. #flowers #flowergarland #ambalavasi #pisharody #maala

A banana plant is a must-have in every Malayali home along with the few other mandatory trees like coconut and moringa. For a Malayali, fruit is synonymous with banana. Such is their love for this fruit, the plant, and its various parts. Every part of the plant is used for a variety of things, consumption being just one its uses. In the market we come across limited varieties such as Elakki / Rasa Kadali, Palayamkodan, Chenkadali (red banana), Robusta, Monthan kaya (ones used for bajji) and the Kerala variety of Nendhra from which the famous banana chips are made. But there are so many other types of banana which you get to savor in small towns and villages. One variety that we have at home is the Chara poovan or Karpuravalli. Chara poovan gets its name from the slightly greyish tint present on its peel. Let us hope these indigenous banana varieties are preserved for our future generations. #banana #keralabanana #charapoovan #pazham

Moringa leaves were part of an average tropical Indian village diet before they were in vogue across the globe. Neer dosa with Moringa leaves. Just another simple breakfast at home. 🤩 #dosa #neerdosa #moringaleaves #moringa #dailygreens #greens #breakfast #foodculture #foodstagram #keralafood

Karuppu kavuni arisi or Black Burma rice is rich in antioxidants, zinc, and is packed with nutrients. Ever since I got introduced to this rice, I have been trying to use it in various dishes. The latest experiment is using it to make modakams with jaggery and coconut filling. Since black rice is glutinous and sticky in nature, I used it in combination with white rice. The color of the rice at various stages is an absolute treat to behold! When soaked in water it turns burgundy. After it was ground with white rice, the paste looked lilac and after steaming it turned deep purple. The whole process was so enjoyable and not just the looks, tastes amazing too. Since the rice is sticky, it was difficult to mould the dough into perfectly shaped modakams but who cares for perfect shapes when the health benefits are so many! #modakam #modak #steameddishes #steamedrecipes #indiansweets #sweets #blackburmarice #blackrice #rice #karuppukavuni #kavuniarisi #arisi #indianfood #foodstagram #foodpics
