Have you ever walked by a street food vendor and f Have you ever walked by a street food vendor and few times and then decided you just had to try their offering? That was our experience as we enjoyed walking along the waterfront in Kochi’s old town near the Chinese fishing nets and fish market. A young vendor named Shiva was carefully frying up tantalizing cassava chips with chili powder and lime🌶️ __ Were they as good as we hoped they’d be? Let’s just say that became frequent customers! __ #cassavachips #mandolinthin #facesplacesandplatesblog #cooksandtheircultures #kochikerala #keralafoodie @keralatourism @travelxs.journeys
Kozhikode (formerly Calicut) in Northern Kerala, i Kozhikode (formerly Calicut) in Northern Kerala, is off the beaten travel path but well worth the visit. A center for spice trade for centuries it is still a thriving center of commerce. We loved watching goods arrive at the market and merchants taking orders for rice, pulses, bananas, onions and an abundance of produce. __ If you go, reach out to our friend @bibin6642 for the insight of a wonderful local guide 👍 __ #kozhikodemarket #kozhikodekerala #northkerala @keralatourism #southindia #facesplacesandplatesblog #cooksandtheircultures
At a visit to Dhoby Khana laundry project in Kochi At a visit to Dhoby Khana laundry project in Kochi, we observed the difference between just doing a job (me doing my own laundry) vs doing a job with care and pride. We even got an ironing lesson and left quite envious that we did not own such heavy duty irons ourselves. Kerala has many empowerment projects like this. Supporting them as we travel is one way to contribute to sustainable tourism. __ #empowermentprojects #sustainabletourism #keralatourism #facesplacesandplatesblog #cooksandtheircultures #southindiaroadtrip
The pandemic brought a lot of devastation in India The pandemic brought a lot of devastation in India but it also brought a lot of innovation. Entrepreneurs with these small carts, are prominent all over India. Formally they operated with cash only. Now, whether they are literate or not, they have a bank account and a QR code payment system for their customers to tap, pay and go. __ #changingindia #southindia #indianentrepreneurs #cartwallah #facesplacesplates #cooksandtheircultures
Many Indian sweets are decorated with edible silve Many Indian sweets are decorated with edible silver. Did you ever stop and wonder where that silver comes from and how it is made? __ In Hyderabad, very close to Charminar there is a small factory where the steady tap, tap, tap of men working with mallets yields these slivers of silver. Of course, we left with a few packets. And, a new appreciation for the work involved. __ #ediblesilverleaf #hyderabad #facesplacesplates #southindiaroadtrip #cooksandtheircultures

Visiting the 112 ft tall Shiva Temple in Coimbator Visiting the 112 ft tall Shiva Temple in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu is spectacular. We got to go behind the scenes in 2016 to learn more about Isha Foundation and especially the pranic food the devoted team in their massive kitchen prepares for thousands of residents and visitors daily. You can read more about that on our blog. __ Karen has also attended Isha Insight and Samyama here. This is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth let alone Tamil Nadu or South India. What a blessing to spend time here especially with a living guru, Sadhguru 🙏 __ @sadhguru @isha.foundation #ishayogacentercoimbatore #adiyogi #tamilnadu #southindia #facesplacesandplatesblog
This may not look like South Indian food but, in P This may not look like South Indian food but, in Puducherry, a former French colony, finding a French omelette and croissant is fairly common. Finding the perfect omelette and croissant is another story. No one does it better than the chefs at CGH Palais de Mahé.
