CALICUT Brunch FOOD Tour I Mango FISH Curry + Hot Banana CHIPS + Dancing Tea + Banana Leaf MEAL

Today's episode we are accompanying our super knowledgeable host Mazan on a brunch tour across Kozhikode. Deemed as the culinary capital of Malabar region, Kozhikode is home to many legendary food joints that serve authentic Malabari dishes. This brunch tour is a quest to indulge in the best of Malabari cuisine at a few iconic places.
The first stop was the Paragon Hotel which opened in 1939. Mazan wanted us to try their mutton stew and mango fish curry with some Vellapam. The minute we tasted the soft white vellappams soaked in tangy and creamy raw mango fish curry, we knew why this place attracts such a huge crowd on any given day. The aromatic and creamy mutton stew with tender mutton chunks was another revelation of the mastery of the chefs. We wrapped up this exceptional meal with dancing tea which is essentially a layered beverage consisting of tea decoction, milk and milk froth.
Next we reached a place opposite to Paragon restaurant that is hugely famous for the Kerala special plantain chips. It was the legendary Kumari chips. People visiting Paragon don't miss out on carrying their favourite snacks from here. The best part of this shop is that the workshop is attached to it and hence one gets to buy fresh chips. When we reached there we saw a team of three men sitting beside a huge heap of semi ripe plantains and peeling its skin with a scalpel like tool that too at an insanely fast pace. The were then sliced up in an electric slicer, washed, mixed with turmeric and salt and dropped into bubbling coconut oil. The heat is provided by burning coconut husk. We got some thin, crisp and hot chips to try and the savoury taste was simply fabulous.
After all this heavy stuff we stopped at Bhaskeratan Sharbath Kada for some refreshing drinks. Right before this non fancy sharbath shop there was a long queue of people. Everyone from Kozhikode will vouch for its mind-blowing taste. We ordered a naanari sharbath and a milk sharbath. The special rhythm in Bhaskarettan's hands when he assembled the drink was noteworthy. It was refreshing and luscious.
From there Mazan led us to Lorry Stand for lunch at a mess tucked away in one of the grey bylanes. There was no signage to announce its presence but the huge eating hall was packed with people and huge vats of traditional curries and rice and Mazan's brief about the place made us realise how famous it is with the locals. The meal was served in plantain leaves. There were some light traditional veg curries, rice and an assortment of fried fish. For the people of this locality, this mess the food here was closest to homecooked food they can get.
All thanks to Mazan, we had a amazing time relishing these dishes.

the person who was showing Calicut has extensive knowledge about the food culture of the place. Really a joy to see the culture through the food. Keep going strong. Thank you for the effort

[@delhifoodwalks]

The best !

[@Y.Js_musical_journey]

This has to be the most extensive food tour done of kozhikode by any well known food blogger who isn't from kerala!! Respects to you sir!!

[@delhifoodwalks]

Thank you so much 🙂

@suryaprakesh mishra it will pickup..kerala food culture kuch alag hi hai...duniya bhar me famous hai...

[@Tomkha19]

Probably the only respectful food blogger who does it for his passion/ adventure, no begging for likes and shares, just being there and relishing/ living in the moment.

[@rahulm4490]

Three cheers for Mazan Hamza for his time, effort and explanations.....bahut accha dikhaya hai and he really knows a lot about the preparations...must be connected to the culinary industry

[@simplyprasanth]

Kudos for introducing us to a host who knows all the details from past and present of the cuisine and culture that he represents

[@zaheedkamaal3692]

Wonderful host and other lady from the previous videos. I missed eateries previously to my visit to Calicut this is a new addition to my next trip.

[@sureshshenoy6393]

Great place Calicut. My childhood i use to visit the sharbat shop and the chips shop. But never been to the restaurant near the scrap areas. We is to stay at Cherooty road next to scrap road. I am a veg, but surely try this restaurant for veg. Arya bhavan is good for veg meals. Calicut u get variety of spl food. Missing all these and currently at Manipal/Mangalore enjoying the local cuisine of Dakshina Kannad.

[@k91221]

Very nice guide....he actually knows a lot about malabar culture ,history also knows iconic places like paragon and lorry mess. He is not like other guides who are there just to eat with you.

Even some Kozhikode people will not be having knowledge about these much choices. Thanks to your host too.

[@rashmidattani3117]

Oh, bahut saari cheezey... Aappaam is generally made in kadayi.. The term 'Dancing tea' is wht fascinates.. The making of (yellow) banana chips, popular widely, was great seeing... (specially the peeling skill)... Was nice to learn about d root sharbat... The marvel was the last joint... as the add. says..(lorry stand)... it seemed more like a local, rustic, accessible place, serving basic, fresh, tasty n healthy meal for the "on the move" mob... satiating their palate along wth 'sight-smell-sound' fundamentals... Ya, to finish... the coconut jaggery + carrot candy was again a different mix. :)

He used the word Americas - LATAM falls under that 😎

[@randommedia3441]

Mexico are in north american continent

[@sujithkumar2041]

What he meant is South America- mainly from Brazil brought by Portuguese. In Malayalam there are many Portuguese words as well. Also many things like tapioca, yam, some kinds of jackfruit all brought by Portuguese from Americas. There are things Dutch and Chinese bought as well which are used in everyday life by a malayalee
