Notability

The Edayur chilli is a variety of chilli mainly grown in this village.[2] The Edayur chilli is a local cultivar primarily grown in specific regions of Malappuram district, Kerala, India. Specifically, it is cultivated in the panchayaths of Edayoor, Athavanad, Marakkara, Irimbiliyam, Kalpakanchery, and Valanchery within the Valanchery block, as well as Moorkanad and Kuruva panchayaths within the Angadippuram block.

The Edayur chilli's traditional cultivation grounds include hills, hillocks, and lateritic fields. Its physical appearance is marked by drooping, solitary berries with a moderately triangular shape with a smooth surface. The Edayur chilli is primarily utilized to create a traditional Malayalam delicacy called "Kondattom," or sun-dried curd chillies. These dried Kondattom Mulaku can be stored for several months, retaining their distinct flavor. When fried, Kondattom serves as a delectable side dish, paired with curd, making it a simple yet delightful accompaniment to meals.[3]
