While mutton is authentic to this recipe you may use beef with excellent results. Kerala, a state in the south west of India. Kerala is known as the "Land of Spices" because it traded spices with Europe as well as with many ancient civilizations with the oldest historical records of the Sumerians from 3000 BCE. Food is traditionally served on a banana leaf and almost every dish has coconut and spices added for flavor, giving its cuisine a sharp pungency that is heightened with the use of tamarind. Seafood is the main diet in coastal Kerala,
