Kanyakumari is well-known not only for its tourism but also for its cuisine. These are just a few of the delectable and lip-smacking meal options.
Banana Chips
Banana chips, made from underripe bananas, are a wonderful snack to try while visiting Kanyakumari. The banana slices are placed in the hot coconut oil and cooked. To enhance the flavour of the snack, a pinch of salt or pepper is added. You'll also have the chance to observe the chips being created from scratch.
Kothi paratha(Minced parotta)
A classic South Indian treat made from shredded chapatis or parathas is Egg Kothu Paratha. Muttai Parotta, as it is known in Tamil Nadu, is a meal that is based on a Sri Lankan variant known as Kothu Roti. It's made with paratha, eggs, meat, and a spicy curry or gravy, all of which are mixed together on a hot cast-iron griddle with enough oil.
With this Egg Kothu Paratha recipe, you can make this popular street meal at home. Traditional egg kothu parathas are served with onion raita, but you can serve it with any raita you like. It's also delicious as a breakfast or dinner dish.

Pazha Sarbath
The Pazha Sarbath, the best way to beat the summer heat, is readily available at Kanyakumari's roadside shops. Banana, Apple, Pineapple, Grapes, Pomegranates, and other fruits are used to make this sarbath or juice. These fruits are finely chopped and combined with ice and sarbath.
Aval (Poha)
One of Kanyakumari's most famous foods is broken rice, often known as Aval in South India or Poha in North India. You'll receive the sweeter form of aval here. Coconut and jaggery are added to the Aval after it has been sprayed with water. This is essentially a home-cooked meal.
Semiya Payasam
Semiya Payasam is a celebratory pudding made with vermicelli, milk, and dry fruits, and flavoured with cardamom and/or saffron. Typically offered as dessert on events such as Tamizh/Tamil new year and Onam, where a feast is prepared and this payasam is served.
Semiya payasam can be made with any type of Semiya (Vermicelli). They can either be roasted or not. Roasted semiya is now accessible on the market. If you don't have access to roasted semiya, toast the semiya on a hot skillet and then add it to the milk.
Pazham pori
Pazham pori, also known as ethakka appam, is a fried banana or plantain dish made with maida flour. It is a popular breakfast or snack item in South Indian cuisine. In Kannada, it's known as Balehannu bajji, while in Tamil, it's known as Vazhapalam bajji.
Nendran bananas are a large kind of banana with firmer, silkier, and sweeter flesh than standard Cavendish bananas. The meat of the banana is soft and rich in starch, and it is wrapped in a yellow colour cover. Fruit is a high-energy, low-risk food that can be consumed at any time. This banana gives our bodies an energy boost.
Nendran bananan is referred to as Nendra Baale in our native tongue. It has a high fibre content, is good for your heart, and is easy to digest. Bananas are high in vitamins and minerals like potassium and calcium, making them a nutrient powerhouse., It helps to keep blood pressure in check.

Pazham pori is a popular Kerala banana fritter. Every hotel and shop may be found in Kerala. If Kerala banana is not available, you can substitute another banana kind. There isn't much of a difference in terms of taste. Among the bajjis or fritters, the pazham pori has a distinct flavour.
Pazham pori is a completely vegan dish. It's a simple and quick tea or coffee snack. Pazham pori must be served hot; otherwise, it would turn soggy.
Nungu Sarbath
Nungu Sarbath is a refreshing chilled drink produced by combining nungu with nannari sarbath. Nungu Sarbath is a refreshing alternative to bottled beverages, as well as a body coolant!
Nungu Sarbath is a popular summer drink found in street booths in Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari, and Nagercoil, among other places.
Nungu Sarbath is simply nungu/palm fruit blended with nannari sarbath, and it tastes incredibly refreshing, especially after a long, hot day.
Maravalli Kizhangu
Maravalli Kizhangu is a tasty and nutritious snack made from tapioca root. It is also known as kuchi kizhangu and mara seeni kizhangu in Tamil Nadu.
We used to refer to them as "Elurai kizhangu" in our community, but I knew that wasn't the correct name, so this morning I searched for other Tamil names for tapioca stems. It wasn't until then that I learned that one of the names for the tapioca root is "Ezhilai Kizhangu."
I imagine that over time became Elurai Kizhangu in regional slang. When tapioca stem is in season, this recipe is prepared as a nighttime snack or as a side dish for breakfast. It takes little time at all to prepare and is delicious, healthful, and uncomplicated.Fish Curry is the perfect combination with the boiled tapioca.
Jackfruit
Green jackfruits have the advantage of having a mild flavour that allows them to absorb herbs, spices, and other flavourings.
As a result, dishes containing shredded chicken, pulled pig, or other meat can be cooked using the fruit instead of the meat.
Many different meals, both savoury and sweet, can be cooked with jackfruit. And the seeds are frequently roasted or boiled before being eaten as snacks. They have a flavour and taste that is comparable to macadamia or chestnuts.
Susiyam
Susiyam is a popular traditional dessert in South India, particularly in the Tamil Nadu state. On the outside, it has a crispy texture, and the inside is soft and sweet. Because it is simple to make and healthy, my mother-in-law used to make this delicious Susiyam recipe most evenings for tea.
It is made with channa dal/Kadalai paruppu and jaggery so we get all the benefits of dal. I cooked this treat for one of my Chinese friends, Gia, and she loved it so much that she took some with her that day. I'm going to give you a simple recipe for susiyam that you can also prepare with green gramme or paasiparuppu.
