Some of the traditional dishes like Meen pollichathu,
Kerala chicken curry, rost duck, aviyal, payasam, puttu-kadala, appam
stew, Egg roast etc are well appreciated with all those who have visited
us. In the charming quietude of this home, you may laze away your
evening under the leafy canopy of a guava tree, which stands sentinel in
the amoeba shaped pool. You hear the rustle of the leaves as the cool
evening breeze plays with them-Muse enough for a poet…Float, if you
choose, on a bamboo raft in the encircling placid waters of the pool
from where you can watch the residual brilliance illuminating the
evening sky after sunset. It creates a relaxed ambience that helps you
to unwind. |
| The garden stretches into the beckoning River Pampa.
The backyard is a light- filled sitting area with an abundance of green,
and presents the appearance of a covered courtyard.. The mango tree
offers a magnificent bower over a fish pool beyond where you could relax
with a fishing rod. |
