Consumed in Malayalam
Food that has been eaten is കഴിച്ചു (kazhichu) in Malayalam, the past form of the verb to eat. Say ka-zhi-chu. Where English might say consumed, Malayalam simply says ate, so this is the natural choice.
Most common translation
Eaten, the past form of kazhikkuka, to eat; consumed as food.
ഞാൻ ഭക്ഷണം കഴിച്ചു.
njaan bhakshanam kazhichu.
I have eaten food.
