Toddy shops are drinking establishments seen in some parts of India, especially Kerala, where palm toddy, a mildly alcoholic beverage made from the sap of palm trees, is served along with food.

The food served with toddy is very spicy and hot with chilies. The main dish is tapioca with red fish curry.

As Real Bharat writes: “Toddy and toddy shops are intricately woven into the fabric of the common man here. The food served along with the beverage is mouthwateringly spicy and zesty.”
