Pothichoru at Chilli Flakes - Authentic Kerala cuisine in London Ontario

About Our Pothichoru

Pothichoru, which literally means 'wrapped rice' in Malayalam, is a nostalgic dish that evokes memories of packed lunches in Kerala. Traditionally, workers and travelers would carry their lunch wrapped in banana leaves, which kept the food fresh and imparted a subtle, earthy aroma to the rice. At Chilli Flakes, we recreate this authentic experience with fragrant rice, paired with traditional accompaniments like pickle, papadam, and a curry of your choice, all wrapped in a fresh banana leaf. When you unwrap your pothichoru, the aroma that escapes is the smell of Kerala itself - simple, honest, and deeply satisfying. It's not just a meal; it's a journey back to the roots of Kerala cuisine.

  • Traditional banana leaf wrapping for authentic flavor
