When we asked our host to suggest a good place to have authentic Malabar meal on a banana leaf, we had no malafide intention to have it at his place, but he being so gracious he arranged an amazing meal at home, with cooks imported from the neigborhood and food cooked according to Islamic specifications, which had us completely floored and I still have a lingering taste in my mouth of that meal.
It is just one of the 2 occasions where I have experienced and actually loved having local cuisine in an authentic setting, the other being a meal in coastal Andhra Pradesh in a hut, a place called Bhattiprolu, which was cooked by a fisherman's family.
