Paal cake
A Malabar tea shop special, this tastes better the next day, and then, it is addictive. Kind of like donuts.
Sample Kerala meal
Another favorite sample Kerala meal combo - Rice, sambar, fried fish, yogurt chili peppers, and yogurt.

Old style Kerala sponge cake- I still haven’t achieved that old taste!
Growing up, we used to get these yellow flower shaped cakes back home. I loved the taste and the aroma of those. They still make something that looks like those cakes, but sadly, not at all the same taste or texture. I couldn't find a recipe online either! I tried to recreate that and came up with this. This is delicious, but not that old cake. Wonder what flavoring or essence they used back then. Same with the plum cake that we used to get back then. Today's plum cake is not at all like the old ones.
