Hi Food Lovers,
Kerala is world-famous for its traditional cuisine of age-old recipes, which is so delicious that literally melts in our mouth. People from worldwide come to Kerala mainly for pampering their taste buds. They are delicious and tempting healthy recipes.
I am Maria Thomas an educationalist by profession and cooking is one of my passions. I am a former college lecturer in Chemistry. Also, I wrote a few books in practical Chemistry and curated videos of the same.
Belonging to an ancestral house of a traditional Syrian Catholic family in Kerala, I have seen how everyone loves and crave for our food. So, I thought of sharing one of our biggest treasures – the age-old recipes to you. By this I am preserving these recipes forever so that the present and future generations can easily access forever.
This course I made with the guidance of my Mom, Mrs. Annama Thomas who is the homemaker of my ancestral house and she belongs to a traditional family in Kuttanadu – the rice bowl of Kerala. Also, with the guidance from my sister Rosy Thomas who is a food blogger.
With this course, Kerala cuisine is at your fingertips even for beginners. You can make them with the perfect authentic taste anytime, anywhere and forever. This course consists step by step (short and crisp) videos and recipes of Kerala's most popular 50 + dishes. It includes the famous Kerala breakfast like different types of dosas, different types of puttu, idli, roti etc, fish dishes, meat dishes, sadya and many other vegetarian curries, payasams, pickles and snacks. Also, the recipes of each in pdf format are included.
Some cooking videos I have added as free in this course though they are a bit time consuming but inevitable.
