Toddy is also a [[liquor]] fermented from coconut and palm saps in parts of [[South India]], particularly Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Locally, it is known by the name of Kallu.

Toddy is tapped by a [[Toddy tapper]] either from [[coconut]] or [[palm]] tree. The initial white liquid that is collected tends to be very sweet and is not fermented enough to be alchoholic. After letting the liquid settle and [[ferment]], the drink becomes alchoholic in nature.

Toddy is usually available at a "[[Toddy shop]]", which translates to "[[Kallu Shap]]" in the regional language of [[Malayalam]], Kerala.
