Kerala, served in Queens.

Backwater cooking from Kuttanad, Kerala's rice bowl, with North Indian favorites, on Union Turnpike in Glen Oaks.

Kerala fish curry, deep red gravy with curry leaves, in a white bowl, seen from above

Kuttanad is Kerala's rice bowl.

Paddy fields farmed below sea level, threaded with canals and lined with coconut palms.

Here, the canal is the road.

Boats carry people, rice and the morning's catch between the fields.

The boat in our name.

The chundan vallam, Kerala's snake boat, races these backwaters. Our kitchen cooks from the same water country.
