Most Popular Restaurant In Kerala. Paragon Restaurant Kozhikode. Paragon Chicken Biryani recipe, Chicken Dum Biryani, Crab Bhumika, Meen Moilee, Mango Fish Curry, Mutton Varthiyathu.
A Keralan culinary institution that people are familiar with not just in the state but beyond its borders, Paragon Restaurant, is perhaps the oldest and by large the most popular restaurant in the city of Kozhikode. Established in way back in 1939, Paragon has built an empire across the world with restaurants in various parts of Kerala and the Middle East.
In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, Food Lovers’ Editor, Kripal Amanna visits the iconic restaurant on Kannur Road, where Paragon was born to meet Sumesh, third-generation owner. He then visits the kitchen to watch their revered Paragon Chicken Biriyani being made from scratch. He then sits down to savour some of the most ordered dishes on the menu.
PRAWN DRY FRY
You taste the sweetness of the fresh prawns and the fragrance of the coconut oil in which this crustacean is fried. The prawn is perfectly seasoned and cooked textbook perfect to a yielding crunch and succulent inside.
rs. 315 (usd4.4)
10/10
PAN FRIED MUSSELS
The mussels are cooked supple in a savoury mix of onions, curry leaves and green chillies. A play of flavours and textures, one tastes the toasty lilt of the curry leaves, the bite of the onions and gentle heat of the pepper.
rs. 331 (usd4.7)
9/10
PAN FRIED SQUID
The squid, though cooked to a pleasing springy bite is quite neutral in its flavour and needs to be cocooned in the masala for it to make an impression on the palate.
rs. 273 (usd3.8)
7.5/10
TAMARIND FISH
This Paragon creation teases the senses with its medley of flavours. You taste the sourness that comes from the vinegar, the sweetness of jaggery and the lingering warmth of ginger in the sauce in which the fried kingfish is tossed.
rs. 336 (usd4.7)
9/10
CRAB BHUMIKA
I love the size of these juicy sea crabs, they're soft and one can bite into them whole to relish the flavours of the dish. You taste the sweetness of the crab meat, the freshness of the ingredients, coriander, green chillies, ginger, garlic and the sour twang of lime.
rs. 231 (usd3.2)

AVOLI MOILEE
The delicate white pomfret is the perfect accomplice to the mellow, soothing flavours of this creamy coconut stew, punctuated with the notes of kokum, curry leaves and green chilli. Enjoy this with a lacey appam.

9/10
MANGO FISH CURRY
Another popular dish here, the ayakora or kingfish has imbibed the sour notes of the raw mango. The shallots add a robust bite and the heat from slivers of ginger contrasts with the slightly sour notes of this curry.

10/10
MUTTON VARTIYATHU
A mutton preparation that’s rich in flavour and texture. The meat, onions, tomatoes and spices have been slow-cooked for a few hours to come together in a lush gravy.

9.5/10
CHICKEN BIRIYANI
The biriyani here is plated in a layered mound, milky white grains of the mildly aromatic kaima rice or jeerakasala rice sit at the crest, followed by a layer of masala-stained rice, a savoury ribbon of masala and fried onions separating the two.
