I am fortunate enough that I have done every thing that is possible to do in the list. That is very nice experience to stay in TN right from Chennai to Ooty and from Kanyakumari to Coimbatore. I have seen all districts and have eaten on banana leaf and have enjoyed an elephant, boat ride etc.

all these things belong to Keralites too :P
It's really nice to take tiffin in banana leaf, while going to school or office. Cooked rice with curries give a pleasant smell. :woohoo: :woohoo:
In AP and Karnataka also banana leaf is consider to be good for serving food on it. Nice information on TN. I have visited chennai only so don't have must knowledge on culture of TN.
In Maharashtra too, we have special meals on Banana leaves!!! Some dishes are especially steamed by wrapping them up in banana leaves, they are very delicious and yummy with a unique fragrance from the leaves.

Pearl fish wrapped in banana leaf and steamed.....a typical Kottayam dish :cheer:
If you wrap gram flour paste (properly spiced) in banana leaves and steam it until properly backed and then cut it in to small pieces you can fry these as crispy pakouras or use these for making a good vegetable preparation with proper gravy.[/quote]
That is not banana flour but a different kind of leaf called Colacasia, it is very popular and famous in Mangalore and we call the dish Pathrode...I have the leaves growing in my garden
