This Palakkad trip is definitely one for the books. Ramassery idli is very similar to the thatte idli from Karnataka, in appearance. Made three at a time on these pots, layered with a muslin cloth, these are as soft as a flower.

Odankolli, literally transalates to instant death. These beauties add such a nice herby aftertaste and heat to chicken, fish and chutneys. A classic addition in fish curries from south Trivandrum, I have read that it is from the Habanero family.
