Karipathu Kammara Poduval

Karipathu Kammara Poduval (70) is a well-known expert in cooking. One can even say that it is Kammara Poduval who defined the taste of Payyanur. He got “Pachaka Ratnam” title for the immense contribution to this sector. He is in this field for the last 36 years. He served as the Chief Chef for the Kerala State School Youth Festival held at Kannur, State Keralotsavam etc. He is the chief chef of all the major youth festivals, conferences and marriage feasts and dinners for various functions held not only Payyanur but all over North Malabar.

There will not be a single Payyannorian who didn’t know the taste the food prepared by Kammara Poduval. Poduval, who is a known Socialist, had participated in various movements like famous Kattamballi Struggle, and the Liberation Movement (Vimochana Samaram). He was put behind the bars two times for participating in the Muthukad Agitation and Kattamballi Struggles. He played a vital role in organizing the hotel workers of Payyanur. Kammara Poduval is always thankful to his guru, KU Valiya Kunhirama Poduval of Annur for bringing him to this field.
