Famous for its backwaters and its meen curries, Alleppey has a lot to offer for the food lover. Tapioca {locally known as Kappa} is a staple here and served up in various avatars – they steam it, fry it and even add to their fish curry {a speciality in Alleppey}. Pile your plate high with rice and add ladles of their Karimeen {a freshwater fish that’s popular in these parts} Curry and pair it up with Karimeen Pollichathu {where the fish is slathered with a mix of spices before being wrapped up in banana leaves and fried}. Wash it all down with Toddy {locally prepared palm wine} or coconut water.
