We Malayalis are special in our own way – the way we speak, the way we eat food, how we drink like the world is about to end, the way we dress, and much more. We are unique and maybe, that’s why a Malayali likes being in the company of other Malayalis.

And it isn’t hard to identify if a person is a Malayali. All you have to do is get yourself into their home, and check if you can come across some very Malayali items.

“What are these things?”, I hear you ask. These are things that are very typical of any Malayali household. They could almost be called the backbone of our homes, without which things won’t go as planned.

Here’s my list of things you’ll only find in a Malayali household.
