It is the unique cuisine which mostly excites nostalgia for Keralites, no matter where they are. The gastronomic bliss that an ordinary Malayali enjoys while eating left over rice mixed with green chillies, curd and fish gravy, from an earthen ‘chatty’, on a rainy day, cannot be achieved even if he/she has the most sophisticated dish from a five star hotel.

Celebrities too have become fans of local food and often post pictures on their social media accounts which clearly show their love for the Kerala cuisine. The latest to join the brigade is youth sensation Dulquer Salmaan. Sharing a snap from his latest movie Yamandan Premakatha in which the actor is seen enjoying rice and fish curry from an earthen vessel, Dulquer wrote, “I was on diet food for ages. And they gave me this manga meen curry and rice and I didn't have to act for that scene. Ate like I hadn’t seen food before.”
