What to Eat during your One Day Calicut Sightseeing Trip by Taxi?
During your one day Calicut sightseeing trip by taxi, you'll have the opportunity to indulge in delicious local cuisine at various restaurant and roadside stalls. Here are must-try dishes to eat during your Calicut Sightseeing Trip :
1. Kozhikodan biryani: Calicut and the Malabar region are synonymous with one of South India’s most ordered biryanis. This subtly flavoured biryani leans heavily on fried onions and the unique, small grain jeerakasala for its flavour profile. This biryani is usually served with a sweet and spicy date pickle, and a version of raita that’s made with finely chopped tomato, coriander leaves, ginger and green chillies and the fluffy Kerala pappadam.
2. Sulaimani: This black tea combines spices with a hint of lemon and jaggery. It’s the perfect anytime drink and also hits the spot after a heavy Calicut biryani meal.
3. Banana chips: Be prepared to save some of your baggage allowance for the one thing your friends expect you to carry back from Calicut – crispy banana chips fried in freshly pressed coconut oil. You can watch the action live at famous outlets live where staff slice and dice bananas and throw them into massive vats of coconut oil. Pity you can’t bottle those fresh aromas along with the chips you take back with you.
4. Nannari sarbath: The best antidote for Calicut’s humidity. You will usually find two versions including one infused with milk. It gets its flavour from its hero ingredient – Nannari (Sarsaparilla). Most locals will tell you that the stall with no name and no signage opposite the legendary Paragon Hotel serves the city’s most refreshing sarbath.
5. Pathiri and fish curry: here are different versions of the ‘pathiri’ a bread that takes its name from fateerah (Arabic for pastry). Crafted with rice flour this incredibly light bread tastes best with fish curry and is a breakfast staple at many Calicut homes.
6. Sharjah shake: You may find a sheikh in Sharjah but you’re unlikely to find a Sharjah shake there. I’ve tried decoding the secret ingredients that make up Calicut’s legendary milkshake but even after multiple visits, I’ve only got a few clues that include banana and Boost. Save space for this ‘meal in itself’ milkshake.
7. Fish fry: Not for mild taste buds, the poricha meen (fish fry) is doused in fiery spices and fried in coconut oil. There are multiple versions that include ayala fry, aykoora fry and shark fry.
8. Local Street Food: While exploring the streets of Calicut, keep an eye out for street vendors offering local specialties like Samosas, Arikadukka, and Calicut halwa. These snacks are flavorful and widely enjoyed by locals and tourists alike..
These food items are just a glimpse of the culinary delights Calicut has to offer. You'll find many street food vendors, local eateries, and restaurants serving authentic flavors that reflect the rich food culture of the region. Enjoy your food exploration during your One-Day Calicut Sightseeing Trip!
