God's own country Kerala is among greenest states in the country & it has an abundance of local produce. Kerala cuisine is interesting and it is different from other southern states.
To indulge your sweet tooth, Kerala has delectable variety of traditional desserts -from Ada Pradhaman to Kozhikode halwa.
Here I have made Akkaravadisal, also known as Akkara Adisil. This is a traditional Iyengar speciality.
