During the afternoon and evening of my eleventh day in Kerala, I went on an Indian food tour and tried spicy seafood and egg biryani on a banana leaf in Kannur! Come along with me as I continue exploring the flavors of God’s Own Country!
We started at Malayattor Hotel. Inside, we were served some rice, fish curry, veg curry, pachadi, lemon pickle, and veg fry. I also went with a piece of mackerel, a cup of buttermilk, mussels (also known as kallumakkaya), spicy chili gravy, sambar, and more!
The fish curry was creamy and light on the spice. The coconut milk flavor blended well with the fish and short-grain rice, which I liked more than the long-grain rice you find in other parts of India.
Then, we dug into the veg curry with the pickles. The vegetables in the pickle had been dry fried and was super tasty. I loved the sour flavor it added! The salty, masala-covered mackerel with the rice was an incredible combination. I felt a bit of spice creeping up on me!
Then, I added the chili gravy, which was also a little sour. I also loved the yogurt curry with curry leaves.
Next were the spicy, salty mussels! They contained crispy onions and were super tasty, tender, meaty, and succulent. If you’ve never had spicy seafood, you’re missing out!
Then, I tried the buttermilk, which had some coriander, ginger, shallots, and chilies in it. Usually I don’t like buttermilk, but this one was amazing! It was the best I’d ever had. I loved the spice!
Our meal cost about 300 rupees/$3.94 USD. Because it was 12:30, the place was starting to get packed!
Next, we arrived at Hotel Jaya to have some chicken biryani with egg. We were served beet root chutney with ginger, coconut chutney, and a salad, along with the biryani. The beet root chutney had a sour pickle taste and a potent ginger flavor. The coconut chutney had a nice, chili fragrance and a spicy coconut flavor!
The chicken was so lightly fried, it didn’t feel fried at all. Then, I tried the chicken and rice with the beet root, which was bursting with flavor!
Then, I broke the egg into the biryani. The egg was really nice, especially mixed with the biryani and coconut chili chutney. I was loving the biryanis in northern Kerala. This biryani only cost us 90 rupees each/$1.18 USD.
Then, we got a tender coconut shake at another shop for just 40 rupees each/$0.53 USD. It was like pure, ground coconut and full of flavor. It was so tasty and refreshing!
This is some of the best food in India, for sure. Then, we drove roughly one hour to Mahé, one of only seven union territories in India. As soon as you cross the bridge into Mahé, you see nothing but businesses advertising their alcohol.
There were four wine shops on the corner we stopped at. We stopped inside Breezer, where they had Bacardi, whisky, an Indian vodka called Magic Moments, and more. We headed into the bar, and tried some smooth but strong Oro brandy from Karnataka.
Then, we headed out to explore Mahé. After trying some roasted peanuts and seeing a Christian shrine, we visited the boardwalk along the river. It’s breezy and cooler. You can also see a virgin beach across the water and lots of fishing boats!
Then, we left Mahé and went back to the Seashell Haris Resort. After checking out my new room, I walked down to the beach, which is breathtaking! I climbed across the rocks. It’s a beautiful spot that’s off the beaten path. What a day!

This guy nailed it at 18:59. A perfect way to avoid Handshake. No Handshake = No spreading Corona.
There was no isolation at that time. He was just being a fukkwitt
dude, this was shot in Jan..there was no Corona at that time..
and now see this….https://youtu.be/y38564-cMtM
corona comes to your home
Ya he was like-, keep the change
I like the way you eat with your fingers..that shows you respect our culture! ??
Ebin is a great guy with great amount of knowledge. Humble and always smiling person! I wish i can travel with him for my text trip to kerala!
?are you from ..?
A biryani analysis:
Before Covid: 1.Hyderabad Biryani 2. Calicut Biryani
After David : 1. Calicut Biryani 2. Hyderabad Biryani..
jaya biryani is very below avg when considering kannur biryani. MVK & Ajwa is loads better but nothing comes close to what we get from wedding or other kind of feasts. ebbin and mark had the oppurtunity to try them on two occassion
Earlyyyy????love ur videos…
Especially UMMMMMMM?
Banana leaf food amazing and your video so nice, I love my indai, and u travel every place of India
