Thalassery Chicken Biryani
Fragrant jeerakashala rice cooked with tender chicken and aromatic spices, a classic Malabar delicacy.
Malabar Tiffin House
Puttu steamed at dawn, pathiri pressed by hand, biryani layered in copper. Recipes carried from the Thalassery coast and cooked the long way, every day.
We cook the way the Malabar coast has always cooked: coconut scraped fresh each morning, masala roasted in small batches, rice soaked overnight. Nothing is rushed and nothing is reheated.
The tiffin counter opens at six with puttu and steamed idiyappam. By noon the biryani pots come out of the dum, sealed with dough and opened only at the table.
