Dinner at Kovalam
No Picture Associated With These Comments
Kerala king prawn curry, with roasted onions, tomatoes, and spices.  
This dish was delicious, and my favorite of the things we ordered.
Fish moli: "kingfish cooked in coconut milk, with onion, green chilli, 
ginger, tomato, and curry leaves."  While decent, it was my least 
favorite dish because it tasted so strongly of coconut (from the milk).  
Oddly, I found this dish the spiciest of those we ordered.  I liked the 
odor of the curry leaves.
Lamb jalfrezy (not a dish native to Kerala): "lamb with chilli, ginger, 
capsicum, and herbs."  Good.  Slightly spicy, with a complex blend of 
spices.
We went to Kovalam, a Keralan restaurant. (Kerala is a province in the south of Indian bordering the sea.) The restaurant is somewhat visible at the far right in this picture I took when walking around the area near my apartment.
