‘Allahu A'alam’ means Allah/ God knows best. But the Ponnani region of Kerala has a snack named thus. The story goes that after preparing several snacks, someone made a new dish with leftover fillings. When asked to name it, he/she said, ‘Allahu A'alam’ and the listener assumed that it was the name!
The square-shaped multi-layered snack has refined flour (maida), eggs and different fillings — scrambled or boiled eggs, mashed banana, nuts, raisins... It is a must on the festival menu and during important occasions in Muslim families in the region.
North Kerala, read Malabar, is known for its distinct cuisine, especially those prepared in Muslim households. If you think that Kozhikode and Kannur have the monopoly, people of Ponnani in the neighbouring Malappuram district will agree to differ.
