Tharavadu Restaurant

Tharavadu is a system of joint family practised by people in Kerala until 1940s. Tharavadu was a legal entity like undivided Nair Family and was entitled to own properties. Now these days ancestral home is often called as Tharavadu. However the old system was very different and was an integral part of their joint-family lifestyle in the bygone era. In total ‘Tharavadu’ means family which keeps the values of tradition.

Kerala’s long coastline, numerous rivers and backwater networks, and strong fishing industry have contributed to many sea and river food based dishes. Rice and cassava form the staple food of Kerala. The main dish for lunch and dinner is boiled rice. For over 2000 years, Kerala has been visited by ocean-goers, including traders from Greece, Rome, the eastern Mediterranean, Arab countries, and Europe. Thus, Kerala cuisine is a blend of indigenous dishes and foreign dishes adapted to Kerala tastes. In addition to historical diversity, the cultural influences, particularly the large percentages of Muslims and Syrian Christians have also contributed unique dishes and styles to Kerala cuisine, especially non-vegetarian dishes.
