So, if i do this procedure each time opening a new book, things are working fine.
So what I observed here is, Kobo saves the book font each time, but at the beginning the dictionary font is reverted back to the system font again.
For now, I did the above mentioned procedure with a regular EPUB file, since I am still using the old regular EPUB files in the reader. Only now I was reading the forums and get to know the benefits of using KEPUBs. Seems like I can do the conversion easily with a Calibre plugin. I will try with a KEPUB and update you.

You seem to be saying that you can't get your chosen Malayalam dictionary font to "stick" as you move from book to book. This is not what I experienced. Once I've got the En-En dictionary to display with my Arial font it "sticks" until the next reboot, no matter how many different books I open, nor how many different dictionaries I open.
However, all my custom dictionaries are different variations of En-En (i.e. not translation dictionaries) so it's possible my testing wasn't broad enough for your purposes. If you want to PM me a link to both the English-Malayalam dictionary and Malayalam fonts you're trying to use I could have another look.
