“ Hello everyone,

My favourite food is Porotta and Beef curry. I love it because it is so soft and spicy. The beef curry is thick and tasty, and the porotta is flaky and fun to eat.

I eat it on special days or when we go to restaurants. My dad also brings it home sometimes. It smells so good that I feel hungry right away!

My uncle makes the best beef curry. I always ask for more. I like to eat porotta by tearing it and dipping it in the curry. Yummy!

This food makes me very happy. That’s why Porotta and Beef is my favourite.

Thank you. ”

“ Hello friends,

My favourite food is Kappa and Mathi curry. Kappa means tapioca, and mathi means sardine fish. It’s a famous Kerala food.

My grandmother makes this every weekend. The kappa is soft and the fish curry is spicy and red. I like the smell and taste very much.

I mash the kappa and mix it with curry and eat with my hand. It’s very fun and tasty.

This food is special because it reminds me of my village and holidays. That’s why Kappa and Mathi is my number one food!

Thank you. ”

I love Sadhya because we eat it with family and friends during happy times. It is not just food — it is celebration on a leaf!

Thank you! ”
