Duck Mappas – Have You Tried This Flavourful Dish From Central Kerala?

[ad_1] It's 2 pm in the afternoon, and I've just entered one of the busiest dining spaces near Kochi. The luxury cars lined up in the parking might suggest a fine dining experience. But there's no host or white glove service; there's not even an electronic billing counter. I spot a cashier with a billing desk. This is not a desk that supports a computer but one where he keeps doodling entries with a piece of chalk. Once he runs out of space; it's time for a clean slate. He wipes it all clean and starts again. This is Mullapanthal, an old-school Toddy shop; once an all-male preserve, toddy shops are the new hub for Instagrammers and families alike.Also Read: 10 Local Dishes in Kerala That You Must TryToddy shops like Mullapanthal are not just attracting hordes of diners for their old-scho...

The Fascinating Story Of Rava Idli – How It Is Enjoyed In Bengaluru And Chennai

[ad_1] You will hear legends about how people waited for days to score a table at the first MTR or Mavalli Tiffin Room in the 1970s and 1980s in Bengaluru. I've heard those stories from my grandparents who were from Bengaluru. It was at MTR that I tried a rava idli for the first time. The MTR story began a century ago, in 1924 when three brothers switched base from a sleepy hamlet near Udupi to set up a small eatery in Bengaluru. It was Yagnarayana Maiya or Yagnappa who took the lead among the siblings and set the stage for the MTR brand as we know it today.Also Read: 5 Healthy And Tasty Sooji Snacks Recipes You'd Love To Make Time And AgainOne of the most fascinating stories you will hear around MTR is the origin of the rava idli.

Meen Manga Pothi – A Delicious Steamed Fish Delicacy From Kerala

[ad_1] A meal at a tiny local restaurant in Siem Reap, Cambodia, a few years ago made me rediscover a dish from Kerala. Years ago, I tried Fish Amok, one of Cambodia's emblematic dishes. Fish Amok is believed to have originated from the royal kitchens of the Khmer Empire (which ruled from the 9th to the 15th Century). There's also a theory that this dish did not originate in Cambodia and might have come from another part of Asia. A few weeks ago, I was at O by Tamara Trivandrum, where one of the highlights of my meal was a Meen Manga Pothi. Mahi-mahi fish steamed in a banana leaf with a flavorful twist of raw mango. It was more than just a dish; it was a dish that brought back memories of fabulous meals in Kerala and Southeast Asia. Fish Amok is usually prepared with catfish. The fish fi...
