In AD 52, legend holds that Thomas the Apostle established Syrian Christians, also known as Suriani, upon arriving on the Kerala coast. Influenced by diverse cultures, Suriani cuisine blends fresh local ingredients with spices like pepper, cardamom, star anise, fennel, and clove. Suriani family traditions evoke the aromas of wood smoke, nutmeg, and pepper in the old villas of Kerala. The traditional kitchen features six or more wood-fired stoves—one for kanji (rice gruel), another for olathiatu (stir fry), and the smallest for cooking rice pancakes on an appa chatti (griddle). While Suriani cuisine leans towards non-vegetarian, it includes delightful vegetarian options like thorans (side dishes), steamed plantains, and freshly ground chutneys accompanying every meal.Malabar Cuisine: Malabar cuisine, originating from the Malabar region in the Indian state of Kerala, is a culinary treasure trove that captivates with its unique blend of flavors, aromatic spices, and a rich maritime heritage.
