Tasting A Delicious, Traditional Kerala Meal | KAPPA CHAKKA KANDHARI | Ramassery Idli, Appam & Stew

The folks behind Kappa Chakka Kandhari restaurant take their food rather seriously, after all their menu is a showcase of Malayali fare based on their collective memories of growing up in Kerala. And spearheading this unique ‘nostalgic’ culinary initiative is Chef Regi Mathew, who has spent more than a decade extensively touring his home state, exploring recipes and connecting with cooks across homes, community kitchens, and even toddy shops. The resulting food is a labour of love, with ingredients sourced from micro-regions in Kerala to match the provenance of the dish, for instance the rice for the fabled Ramassery Idli comes from Palakkad, the home of the idli, the karimeen (pearl spot fish) from Vaikom, Kottayam, and so on… This fastidious approach to sourcing also seems to extend to the kitchen hands at KCK too, who hail from traditional kitchens and homes in ‘God’s own country’. In this episode, I partake of a lavish lunch that spans across a dozen preparations, made possible by their innovative menu approach that allows for diners to savour a string of delicacies in the course of a meal. Hope you enjoy this one, take care, stay safe and happy eating!
Note:
The set menus at Kappa Chakka Kandhari are priced upwards of Rs. 475 (usd 6.5) and in addition to a tasting of seven preparations, include a beverage and dessert too. Additional add-ons (limited servings), kappa vada, koorka fry, ramassery idli with chicken curry, are priced at Rs. 100 (usd 1.4) per dish.
Rajayogi Meal
A set menu that’s fit for a king, this smorgasbord of a dozen dishes is sheer indulgence! Begin with juicy prawns in a coconut-kokum masala that is steamed in a petite banana leaf pouch, spicy ‘touchings’ of needle fish, the plumpest soft shell crabs, and a delicately flavoured pearl spot fish draped in a robust, toddy shop masala, amongst other delicacies that include a peppery chicken peralan and a slow-cooked mutton coconut fry. After an interlude of a sweet, sour and spicy, pineapple-nendram relish, the main courses troop out - pidi, tiny rice dumplings steeped in coconut milk and served with a flavourful simple chicken curry, a velvety mutton stew and appam combo, and a prawn puttu biryani that hits the spot. For dessert, there’s much to choose from, we tried the chilli-pricking kandhari ice cream and the luscious tender-coconut cloud pudding.
Rs. 1475 (usd 20.3)
9/10 (overall) The pearl spot fry, mutton fry, soft shell crab, pineapple nendram relish, mutton fry, appam and stew - 10/10
Kappa Vada
Rs. 100 (usd 1.4) add-on serving
8/10
Koorka Fry
Rs. 100 (usd 1.4) add-on serving

Ramassery Idli With Varutharacha Chicken Curry & Sambar

Rs. 100 (usd 1.4) add-on serving
9/10
Ayakora Nellikai Masala Fry
A fish fry inspired by frugal tribal traditions, the fish is spiced with a paste of sun-dried gooseberries, green peppercorn and kandhari, bird’s eye chilli. Rs. 375 (usd 5.2)

Gooseberry is not really a souring agent. In addition to sweet, sour, spicy and salt, there is a fifth taste classification in Ayurveda, - astringent, - in Tamil it's called 'thuvarpu' and gooseberry and nutmeg are the typical examples of this taste.

I like how all Kerala dishes are served over banana leaves even at good restaraunts. They give great respect to their culture. Gotta learn from them here in Karnataka too

[@jj-ik7py]

Tamil Nadu dishes are more inclined to that tradition.only for sadya ,we use the banana leaf

[@bsprasad3678]

In coastal Karnataka also serve with banana leaves. Please don't say Kerala restaurants only serve with banana leaves.

[@shettyroshankumar]

@@bsprasad3678there are no posh fine dining restaurant like the one in the video in coastal karnataka that serve their dishes on plantain leaf ..

[@bsprasad3678]

@@shettyroshankumar Yes. I agree. My disagreement to the coment like "they have great respect and Karnataka should learn from that". If in that case why people selling banana leaves at K R Market? It is common to use banana leaves wherever banana plants grow. It is also used as a marketing techique in fine dining restaurants.

[@brodlycentury7903]

This is only true with respect to Bengaluru. Because people from different places come to Bengaluru. Only south Indians are comfortable, using banana leafs. Restaurants have to satisfy all types of customers. And also at the same time, many restaurants in Bengaluru, do serve food with banana leaf. When you vist different places accross Karnataka, you will only see restaurants serving food with banana leaf irrespective of luxury or non luxury restuarants. If you want proper banana leaf serving in Bengaluru, visit the proper local south Bengaluru. All the restuarants near IT zones do not serve in banana leaf.

Each item is explained such a way, no words to congratulate you enough. I haven't seen anything like this. Honestly, it is impossible for me to consume all that in one sitting. I could eat only one item at a mealtime! This much will suffice roughly for a week for me, LOL and I am an athletic man with great build. Did you shoot this over several days ?

Dear Kripal, this is a personal question. Is your father's name Vasanth Kumar Amanna and did he study at Karnataka Regional Engineering College, Surathkal, South Kanara in the early to mid 1960s ? I am an Alumnus of KREC Excuse me for a personal post on your blog. I was an early member of your erstwhile Food Lovers Club and Food Lovers Magazine. About a decade ago I have attended your specially crafted eclectic culinary fare brunches at the West End Hotel and at The Ritz Carlton Bangalore.
