30+ Recipes to create a wonderful spread for a Kerala Style Christmas Dinner
Growing up in Kerala, with a considerably larger number of Christian population, Christmas was always celebrated with much excitement, be it at home – with your neighbors and friends dropping by with homemade wine and fruit cakes or at school with Christmas carols and tree decorations. The highlight was of course the 2 week Christmas vacation / break that you got from school.
In any Malayalee Christian house, Christmas is celebrated with a feast of several courses of chicken and fish and meat dishes and lots of alcohol. Over time I have tried to capture a lot of those recipes here and this is a quick collection of those recipes put together for you for your Christmas party planning. Most of these recipes are Kerala Style recipes with the appetizers and desserts straying from that cuisine, just because I haven’t really gotten around to getting them on here. Hopefully, I will add them soon and we will have it on our Christmas menu for next year.
