The book
The Kerala Plate
Traditional Malayali cooking, re-engineered for fat loss and metabolic health.
This is not a diet book that asks you to give up your grandmother's cooking. It is a working cook's manual for making the food of Kerala the way it has always been made — and understanding, dish by dish, what it does to your blood sugar, your waistline and your heart.
- 120 recipes and 17 mother preparations across breakfast, rice and grains, fish, meat and egg, pulses, vegetables, sour curries, sides and pickles, tea-time, drinks, sweets and a complete Onam sadya.
- A metabolic layer on every recipe — per-serving energy, protein, carbohydrate and fat, with glycaemic guidance drawn from published Indian food-composition and glycaemic-index research.
- Swap tables showing what changes when you move from white rice to matta, from coconut oil to a lighter fat, from jaggery to nothing — and what it costs you in flavour.
- A structured programme for readers managing weight, insulin resistance or blood pressure, built around Kerala food rather than against it.
- Reference tables, seasonal calendars, a 173-word Malayalam glossary and a bibliography of every source used.

Diabetes, prediabetes, blood pressure
Anyone told to "eat healthy" and handed a food list with nothing to do with their kitchen. Keep eating what you love, with your eyes open.
