Over the centuries, the Malabar Coast has been heavily influenced by travelling traders who brought in flavours from all over the world. From Kozhikode to Thalassery, you can eat your way through this region with gusto. Like other coastal cuisines, the food here is heavy on spices and coconut. The Thalassery Biryani {made from a short, thin rice and often features chicken, mutton or fish}, Erachi Puttu {steamed rice cakes stuffed with minced meat}, subtly spiced fish curries, Beef Kurumulakittathu {tender chunks of beef cooked to a tenderness in spices and coconut oil}, and Unnakaya {slivers of banana deep fried in batter} are all on the must-eat list here.
