25 Delicious Kerala Christmas and New Year's Eve Recipes

 


 25 Delicious Kerala Christmas Recipes

 How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone? It is almost Christmas, and today I, am sharing some tasty ideas for a traditional Kerala-style Christmas feast. Festivities and traditions are diverse in countries around the world, but the holidays bring in joy and happiness. It takes lots of planning to make the ultimate holiday spread. I hope this list comes in handy for those who are planning a Kerala-style Christmas feast or New Year's Eve dinner.

Spiced fruit cake and wine are part of the Christmas celebration.  Dried fruits are soaked in liquor,  to make fruit cakes.  It tastes delicious with homemade sweet grape wine. Christians of Kerala celebrate Christmas with midnight mass, Christmas carols, and a feast with family and friends. The traditional feast is generally a non vegetarian affair. Traditionally meals were served on banana leaves, with lip-smacking delicious, spicy curries and rice. Roasted or curried chicken, duck, mutton, and beef all adore the Christmas table, along with scrumptious desserts. Over the years, I have tried to recreate and share some of the most popular Kerala Christmas delicacies. These are my top picks, that I have shared in my blog.
