Baked in Malayalam
വെന്ത (ventha) is the general adjective for cooked, and it stretches over baked, boiled and roasted alike. Malayalam cooking words do not separate baking from other kinds of cooking the way English does.
Most common translation
Cooked, boiled, burnt, baked.
വെന്ത ചോറ് പാത്രത്തിൽ വിളമ്പി.
ventha choru paathrathil vilambi.
The cooked rice was served on the plate.
