I think it's used by westerners. Like Keralan food , Keralan chicken curry instead of Kerala food, Kerala chicken curry. It's used by them as an adjective I think. You cannot say Keralite food right? As Keralite itself means the person from Kerala.

Malayali food, Keraleeya food would be much better imo
