As Dr. Puthussery outlined, Folklore research involves a three-step process: the identification, classification, and interpretation of data, utilising various forms of media to archive cultural expressions. He delved into the significance of oral literature, material culture, and the cultural dimensions of food, underscoring the idea that culture is a construct based on collective truths and beliefs. Engaging with folk communities was stressed, focusing on the reciprocal nature of knowledge exchange.

He also touched upon the methodological framework for conducting effective research in folklore, including the necessity of becoming an active participant observer. The process of constructing a literature review was discussed, emphasising an interdisciplinary approach that considers the natural and cultural landscapes, community beliefs, and practices.
