“PALA BISCUIT”
It’s means in Malayalam: PALA – Wooden plank (A wood plank used in the olden days to sit for having meals) because of its hardness and shape the baker named it as PALA BISCUIT.
Because of its little bit of hardness, you can’t taste it as directly instead you can enjoy this biscuit with a Cup of Black/Milk tea.
When my bestie told about this unique specialty of biscuit, I was enthusiastically to taste it.
Finally, I got a few packs of biscuits it was a little rectangular parcel,wrapped in old news paper with neatly packed.
I tried it directly without dipping in tea, got successful in the first trial and thankful to Namboodiri’s tooth powder for keeping my teeth’s stronger😁

I’m very thankful to my bestie who shared a distinctive type of Biscuit.
