Can you read Yahoo malayalam page?:

http://in.malayalam.yahoo.com/

If not, most surely you have to install some malayalam fonts:

sm01@stt008:~$ apt-cache search ttf-malayalam-fonts
ttf-malayalam-fonts - Free TrueType fonts for the Malayalam language

I had to do something similar to read japanese websites.

Also, be sure the browser is configured to auto-detect character encoding 
and your blog (x)html page is coded with UTF-8.
