Munavalkua

Munavalkua is a traditional Indian dish originating from the state of Kerala, particularly from the regions of Malabar and Wayanad. It is a popular breakfast dish that is typically served with filter coffee or tea. The dish is made from rice flour, coconut milk, and jaggery, which gives it a sweet and savory flavor. The batter is fermented overnight, which gives it a tangy taste. The dish is usually cooked in a special pan called a munavalku, which is a shallow, round pan with a lid. The batter is poured into the pan and cooked until it sets into a thick, spongy cake. Munavalkua is often garnished with grated coconut and served with a side of chutney or pickle. It is a popular dish during festivals and special occasions in Kerala.
