I do not know how good the Malayalam patterns are but they are found
by polyglossia. and as someone noted, the English parts should be
markes as such, so you need
...
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{malayalam}
\setotherlanguage{english}
.... \textenglish{English words} ...
You find more features in the polyglossia manual, it is well written.
