Rajapuram toddy shop is located at kavalam
Keralites start salivating even at the mention of the hot, boiled tapioca or 'kaachil' (a kind of yam) or 'chembu' (a kind of tuber) which go with hot and spicy fish curry. What if there is also a measure of toddy with crushed chillies and ginger served in a bamboo stem? The taste buds will be surely over loaded in this case. Grape wine or sweet toddy or toddy served in bamboo stem make an excellent combination with baked pearl spot or clam meat roast. When we think of a typical toddy shop cuisine, the spicy fish curries and the dishes made of an assortment of backwater fishes that are served with the sweet toddy come rushing to our minds. Many toddy shops these days have been upgraded to restaurants and women customers too frequent these outlets.
Kavalam is a place that is away from the bustle of the city and is draped in greenery and natural beauty. The presence of a tributary of the River Pampa and the associated water bodies make this place even more scenic. The region smells of soil and the place has a lot of rustic charm. Large expanse of paddy fields are punctuated by water bodies in which ducks and other water birds move about. Small country boats ply up and down. At Kavalam, you get to satiate not just your palate but also your heart.
