Desserts
After a meal of spicy curry, try curd (from buffalo milk) with treacle, an indigenous sweetener, or wattallapam, baked custard. Pani pol is a small coconut and honey cake. Jaggery, a chewy sweet, is made with crystallized palm sap. The magnificent fresh fruit may make the best dessert of all: passion fruit, guavas, mangoes, papaya, pineapples, custard apples and rambutan. The delicious, purple-skinned mangosteen is at its best in June.
