The lunch we enjoyed on the house boat has to be up there with my favourite indian meals of all time, if not my overall favourites of all time.
The chef on board cooked up a feast of epic proportions and not one piece of land animal in sight. There was a general theme running through the dishes; freshly grated coconut flesh, cocunut oil, curry leaves, mustard seeds and a number of really delicate spices i found hard to pin point. We had sweet and nutty beetroot, soft okra, diced cabbage, tiny keralan cucumbers with tons of garlic and caramelised onions, miniature little fish dry fried in spices, a thick and sumptuous dhal, rice, poppadoms, chapati and to top it off two fresh whole river fish marinated and deep fried in coconut oil.
Now if you're not hungry after reading all that then you must have an eating disorder. I'm salivating writing about it. It was a truly inspiring meal and i've been dreaming up recipies for when i get back.
