The menu features traditional preparations including Alappuzha prawn curry with coconut and curry leaves, lamb dishes garnished with curry leaves and coconut shavings, and tapioca prepared with Kerala spices, coconut, curry leaves, and mustard seeds. Each dish reflects the authentic cooking methods of Kerala, where coconut oil and curry leaves form the foundation of most recipes. Travancore’s commitment to authenticity extends from ingredient sourcing to traditional preparation techniques, providing Aberdeen’s residents with genuine Kerala flavors rarely found in Scotland. The restaurant serves both the local South Asian community seeking familiar tastes and adventurous Scottish diners eager to explore Kerala’s coconut-rich coastal cuisine.
