Kerala lies on the coastline of the Arabian Sea commonly branded as God's own country. Kerala is sandwiched between 'The Western Ghats' on one side and TamilNadu on the other side. From warm golden beaches, cool hill stations and dense jungles to vast meadows, paddy fields, palm trees and backwaters. Kerala is the best selection for tourists. Kerala is known for its traditional sadhyas, a vegetarian meal served with boiled rice and a host of side-dishes. The sadhyas is complemented by payasam, a sweet milk dessert native to Kerala. The sadhya is, as per custom, served on a banana leaf. There is a difference in the servings from the southern part to the northern end. The south Kerala dishes are spiced up with garlic whereas in North Kerala garlic is generally avoided in all vegetarian dishes. Traditional food items include Sambar, aviyal, kaalan, theeyal, thoran, injipully, pulisherry, appam , kappa (tapioca), puttu (steam cake), and puzhukku. Coconut is an essential ingredient in most of the food items and is liberally used.
