Kattuvast

Kattuvast is a traditional Indian dish originating from the state of Kerala. It is a popular breakfast or snack item, often served with chutneys or sambar. The dish is made from fermented fish, typically mackerel or sardines, which are ground into a paste and then mixed with spices, coconut, and curds. The fermentation process gives kattuvast its unique tangy flavor and texture. The dish is typically served with steamed rice or appam, a type of pancake. Kattuvast is known for its nutritional value, as it is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. It is also a popular street food in Kerala, with vendors selling kattuvast in small carts or stalls. The dish is often enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee.
