Summary:

The Malabar Coast is home to essential ingredients in every Indian meal. Black pepper, cardamom, ginger and tea plantations flourish in God's Own Country; the wet, green mountains of the Western Ghats. The daily cardamom auctions, where buyers and sellers converge in a spirited display of commerce, are fast and heady. The history of spice can be seen in the architecture, and the infinite variety of its uses, are both a tonic and an inspiration. Kumily, the town that is the centre for spice production in the South is one of the most fragrant and historically desired places in the world.
