Salma haridas seems confused about the geography of kerala..i will give u a simple tip.. take a map of kerala and locate cochin.. all places above cochin can be north kerala and everything below can be called south keralaLeft by: Shirley (19 Oct 2012)

Please verify details before you publish them. In north kerala we do not eat fish curry made with Kodampuli...We use Valan puli or green mango or Bilimbi when we make fish curry..So please correct it...Left by: salma haridas (11 Oct 2012)
