You'll sample savoury snacks typical of Kerala, including idiyappam, a steamed rice noodle dish; dhokla, made from a fermented batter of rice and chickpeas; and Keralan halwa, a popular sweet treat.

After trying halwa, you will visit a shop to learn how it is made, involving sugar, nuts, and spices. You'll then stop at a local cafe to enjoy a cup of coffee, with a window seat to appreciate the views of the city.

Next, the tour takes you to a store specializing in Mukhwas, a traditional Indian after-meal snack used as a mouth freshener, made from various seeds and nuts including fennel, anise, coconut, and sesame seeds.
