Rasa Travancore

What distinguishes this equally pink outfit across the road from the original Rasa is that it serves meat & fish dishes. Lightly curried lamb puffs kick off a meal nicely, while Kerala’s most popular chicken curry, nadan kozhy, is a lovely main course. But what really evokes the appeal of the beaches of south India is the wonderful seafood dishes: sweet crabmeat flavoured with turmeric, black pepper & curry leaves, & richly spiced but not too fiery king fish curry with a sour undertow of tamarind. Rasa’s trademark veggies dishes get a look-in too.
