shop and importantly a wonderful eatery </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">(least important as per Romeo)</span>.<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> </span>It is in Karikandanpara, near Koorachundu in Calicut, Kerala.</span></div>

popular parallels. But what makes this venture unique is that it remains to be
an evolving experiment of a local farming family. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Examples to this are umpteen at Kanthari. To start with, the
ropeway, designed and engineered by Romeo, stands apart from the industry

borders of India, a middle aged man, a total stranger to the place ,in white
shirt and mundu (Kerala Dhothi) , after relishing a heavy dinner at a dhaba, wiped
his hand on a piece of newspaper and asked the cashier “Kitna Hua”?”(How much
for the dinner). To his surprise, the man at the counter replied “ Aaap se

in Malappuarm, to explore the world, Saithalavi knew that he had grown rich in his

famous, to be well know to a random dhaba owner in the extreme other corner of
the country. </span></div>

away from Calicut City, towards Trichur. It is one amongst the only two genuine
dhabhas in Kerala, the other being Geetha Dhaba in the northern border of
Kerala. The two essentials of any dhaba– inclusiveness and authenticity, makes
these two quite different from the other umpteen number of eateries in Kerala, by the
title dhaba. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Saithalavi has been running this eatery for the last
eighteen years. He explains that the food experience at ‘Munna ka Dhaba’, is an
amalgamation of his own life experiences. His quest for the unseen, which led
him on his journey across the country, has helped him understand the needs of a
traveler. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">What you would experience at his dhaba in terms of the
food, the ambience and the experience as such is an emulation of Saithalavi’s
perception of the world, food, most importantly his understanding on how people
connect to food. In simpler words he understands what does it take for one to connect
to a particular food as ‘’my kind of food’’, and this is exactly what he recreates
at his dhaba. And that’s why it’s not a surprise that more than hundred truck
drivers make it a point to drive upto Munna ka Dhaba everyday, on their long drive

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The Elathur patch of
Korapuzha River is a rich source of Indian Oysters. ‘Crassostrea madrasensis’,
as they are scientifically known, grow on the laterite rocks found under the
water. These are different from the usual oysters because they don’t produce
pearls. Given the nature of oyster harvesting, the local men are known, to be
able to hold their breaths under water for even up to six minutes. A quick
‘googling’ informed me that the world record for holding one’s breath
underwater was held by the German sea diver, Tom Sietes, who can hold his
breath for 22 minutes and twenty seconds, underwater. But then, what is unique
about Elathur is that most of the men folk in the community partake in this
record (six minutes). <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">After all</span>, there is a lot of difference be<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">tween doing <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">if <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">for the sake of a<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> </span>wo<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">rld </span>record and doin<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">g it a<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">s a <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">means</span> of li</span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">ving. </span></span></div>

this space to tell you a little about Ajith. He is what we would gladly
describe as an extraordinary person. Multi-talented, he is a great entertainer
but what is most surprising is that he never does anything out of the ordinary.
His innate talent lies in consistently doing those things that youth from his
locality can’t or won’t do. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Wont that be a surprise to you </span>when a rural Malabar youth tells you, “I am vegan”. In a land
which <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">t</span>hrives on meat, <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">you may even</span> wonder if he even knows what he is
talking about. But then, this young man dreams of one day, cycling across India (alone) spreading the
vegan message. Throughout the evening, his handy magic tricks kept the children
happily engaged. While his engaging encounters in life, kept us spell bound.
Thank you Ajith! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Food decision making is a process that goes beyond the
simple question of what to eat and where to eat. I remember making rounds around the city
unable to decide the genre of food to eat and where to eat. Interestingly for
me the experience had been that, the more thoughtful a decision, the less satisfied
with the food experience. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">As a society, food decision making has several dimensions
to it. This discussion is not limited to eating out but also extends to the
food that is cooked in family kitchens. It involves economics, gender,
gastronomy, sociology and lot more. It is interesting to look at the flow chart
of the decision making process that prioritizes dishes in the family/society
food hierarchy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Kappa (Cassava) and Kanji (Rice Porridge-A parallel to
Congee in other Asian countries) are victims of this food class. <a href="http://malabarfoodies.blogspot.in/2017/01/the-tapioca-fusion-plating-class.html" target="_blank">Kappa and its

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Except in small joints referred to as ‘mess houses’,
Kanji is not to be found in the menu cards of mainstream eateries. Contradicting
is the fact that Kanji connects nostalgically, at large to the population of
Kerala.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">Thinking about this contradiction, the foundational
nature of Kanji needs to be looked at. </span><span style="text-align: left;">Kanji is very basic in nature. ‘Easy to make,
cheap and filling’’. This contradicts the very essence of eatery business. So let’s
take it this way; being basic connects kanji to the fundamental self of people
and that’s why it’s nostalgic. At the same time, it being simple, cheap and filling
alienates </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">it from the mainstream restaurant industry. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">It is curative, as it’s soft on the tummy and its
energizing with its high starch content. That’s why many may associate it with
illness. Some may have had Kanji only when they were sick or when they were forced
to rest their digestive juices. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">For many a lot, it associates with times of hardship and hard
work, when kanji and kanji vellam (Water strained out of rice porridge) gave
the energy to move on till the end of the day. For instance, farmers and farm workers
would go the field early in the day and come out of the field late in the
morning to have a serving of kanji, which would keep them going in the hot sun,
till late afternoon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Kanji stands witness to the early day’s food management philosophy
of Kerala families. The rice that is left over in the night did not go into refrigerators
those days (In fact, refrigerators were not common then). Instead, the lady
of the house would pour water into rice and then the next day this turns into
Pazhankanji (Translated as Old Kanji-a delicacy within itself). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">The act of pouring water into rice represents the closure
of kitchen for that day. This often connects deep with the feelings of a mother
or a wife, often anguished about a husband or a son not turning up for supper. As a routine she used to be the one who ate
last after everybody was served. Pouring water to the extra rice will keep it
from going stale. However, for her it means much beyond it. It is her act of protest, the loudest she
could. And then the next day, she ‘drinks
the protest’ and moves on to cook fresh for the rest of the family. (The chance
of food being extra without one or more members opting out of dinner was rare, as
rice used to be a precious commodity and the home makers were experts in its management).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

some may even declare their strict adherence to teetotalism. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">In India this is a practice limited to Kerala. However, surprised you may be to know that
this is a pan Asian habit and a very common practice in China. With Kerala’s
historic trade linkage with China and it having adopted a number of other
things from China including the Chinese Fishing Net and Kanji (Rice Porridge),
did the habit of drinking boiled water also come from China?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Call them hypothesis or not, some logical reasons which
worked individually and in combination to make this practice so popular and
maintain its popularity through generations are being presented here. Considering the spiritual and philosophical
associations that communities have with water and the varied associated
meanings for water served along with food, these questions become more
interesting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Ayurveda, as practiced in the pre-independence period and
centuries before had a very different perspective and outlook from today’s version. It was more of a repository of local knowledge
which allowed space for innovation, than the closed institutionalized format it
has now. In other words, Ayurveda was an open social system which functioned
through the knowledge shared by practitioners of varied social orders. For
example, a healer would explain to a patient the way a decoction was to be
prepared and this information percolates into the society and improvises itself
into another medical knowledge. The benefit of drinking boiled water,
Ushnodoka, as it is referred to in Ayurveda has always been a part of this
local wisdom. This wisdom would have passed
on through generations to make drinking hot water a common habit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">The second assumption connects to the drinking water
hygiene campaigns which were pushed by both royal and British administration in
the modern history so as to prevent epidemics. Literature on epidemics states
that in 1925, it was common with the economically better off in Kerala to use water
boiled with cumin <a href="https://books.google.co.in/books/about/Dimensions_of_social_life.html?id=cd2AAAAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y">(Nag, 1987).</a> How about the poorer sections? Interestingly,
they resorted to Kanji vellam, which is boiled rice water, which is also a rich
source of starch. So, the poor and rich, all of them drank hot water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

1941-42 was reportedly spent on Cholera and Malaria eradication <a href="http://www.prernasingh.net/pdf/PSingh.How%20Solidarity%20works%20for%20Welfare.Front%20Matter.pdf">(Singh,2015)</a>. Also , the communist movement empowered
people to be vigilant of public policies. It is to be noted here that Kerala
became the first Indian state to have completely eradicated Malaria by
1965. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Guru, a social reformer who denounced superstitions, rejected casteism and was
a healer himself. He preached ‘drink hot
water and bathe in cold water’ theory which was an important shared health knowledge.
The observations of <a href="https://books.google.co.in/books/about/Dimensions_of_social_life.html?id=cd2AAAAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y">Nag (1987)</a> in terms of the social class divide in drinking

together the facts that drinking hot water is a common Asian trend and there
were strong ancient trade links between the West Coast and China, couldn’t
there be a connection with China and Kerala’s Karingali Vellam? Kerala got its
celebrated Chinese Fish Net, Cheena Chatti (Chinese Frying Pot), Cheena Kali
Mannu (Chinese Sand for Pottery) very much from its trade partner since ancient
times, China. Kerala’s Kanji (Rice Porridge) has an improvised parallel in other
Asian countries called Congee which has thousands of years of recorded history

of Tea also confirms that drinking hot water was very common then in

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Contemporary food practices and food
culture are nothing but embodied history. The food of a place and the norms
around it are not mere constructions of cookery, but the cultural memory of its
people. It carries and reflects the influence of history on the evolution of
contemporary culture. So is the story of Malabar food. It has evolved through
the historic cosmopolitan exposure that the coasts of Malabar had. So much do
we hear about the glory of Calicut Biriyani, Naichorou (Ghee Rice), Pathiri and
so on (in combination known as the Mappila food of Calicut). The social
adoption and acceptance of the mappila food is very much rooted in the history
of this place. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">It’s well known that the Malabar food
is influenced by Arab trade and the connections of Malabar with the Middle
East. However, the evolution of the Mappila food as we experience it today, is
not limited to the imposition of an external cultural entity. It has more to do
with the food habitus of a community which looks outward resolutely towards the
Indian Ocean for more connections and opportunities. The community being talked
about here is the Mappila (Muslim) community of Calicut. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Every food story in Calicut is a
celebration of the heyday of Arab trade which started in the early centuries,
rose to great prominence by the beginning of the fourteenth century and
remained to be on highs up to the 1970s. The hospitality of Calicut evolves
from the embodied food memory of festive feasts organized by the wealthy local
traders to entertain Arab businessmen. Salkaram (A feast), which is a Malabar
peculiarity are reminiscent of parties hosted in turns by bazaar traders
(Market-referring to Valiangadi in Calicut) in their godowns for Arab
merchants. This practice was very common till the seventies. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">People with business interest
including Samoothiri-the King made sure that the traders from the Middle East
felt at home in Calicut. They were offered their food, religious
necessities and even families. Many of them married from Calicut and the ‘Koya’
community is of this lineage. Thus Calicut owned up the Arab food. So
came Biriyani, Ghee Rice, Samosas (This Samosa is different from the Bengali
Samosa)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Post 70s, Arab traders stopped coming
to Calicut as the Middle East started becoming the resource hub of the global
oil trade. But then Calicut started going to the gulf. Through the
already established trade connections , a lot of people from Malabar
crossed the Indian Ocean in search of jobs. Food stuff and food memories still
keep coming into Malabar through them. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">A very good example to a recent entry
into Arab food register of Calicut is the Kuzhi Mandhi. (Mandhi is
literally Biriyani in Arabic and Kuzhi refers to a pit in Malayalam). This dish
should be noted as another mile stone in the history of Arab-Malabar
connection. As Gulf countries are increasingly implementing nationalization
policy (NITAQAT), many keralaites lost their jobs and had to come back to their
natives. Next what we saw is, eateries both small and big mushrooming alongside
the highways, selling Kuzhi Mandhi as their signature dish. Those people who
lost their jobs turned their food memory into either an employment or a
business. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">As long as we have people looking
outward across the Indian Ocean for opportunities and as long they are let free
to do that, the culinary culture will keep evolving and will keep growing
richer. </span></div>

<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Tapioca, <i>'kappa</i>' as it called
in Malayalam has always had its identity connected to the poorer sections of
the society. It has been perceived as a poor man’s food, for decades. I fondly
remember this popular Malayalam movie scene of the 1980s, in which a classroom teeming
with students stands shell shocked, as the 'Hero’s' lunch box falls down and
cubes of tapioca spread on the floor. Such is the stigma associated with this
very tasty food. </span></div>

<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">A probable reason for this connection could
be traced back to the very history of tapioca farming in Kerala. Tapioca was
introduced in Kerala by the Portuguese in the 17th century (There are
contradicting literature stating that it was introduced in 1860). The crop was
popularized in Malabar by the peasant migrants of Central Travancore.
Starting from 1942, as the Japanese invaded Myanmar (then Burma), Kerala lost
connection with its source of rice import leading to serious shortage in rice
availability. Tapioca, which was then scarcely cultivated was popularized as a
staple food alternative by the British. This resulted in rice being a very
expensive commodity and those who could not afford it, had to restrain to this
alternative option. </span></div>

<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Reminiscences of times of food
shortage thus identifies Kappa as a symbol of poverty. Many of those
memories of the times of shortage would have faded over generations, but the
association of Kappa as a working class food remained. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">There are of course, stylized
presentations and marketing strategies tried these days, placing tapioca as an
adventure cuisine. Even those trials are ultimately reinforcing the underlying
class association of this staple diet. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">This is not a trend limited to Kerala.
Internationally, tapioca has been reported to be associated with poor man’s
diet. Indonesia has the largest percapita consumption of this food.
Another interesting fact is that cassava’s (technically-the root from which
tapioca is extracted) consumption pattern matches with that of maize. In lower

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">A major format of consumption of
cassava is as flour. Gaplek, the most common Indonesian version is reported to
be gluten free and high <span id="goog_1582254891"></span><span id="goog_1582254892"></span>in carbohydrates. Cassava cakes and other
desserts are made out of this flour. Sabudana, a form of Sago is quite
exhaustively used in North and Central India as diet in times of fasting. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Further, in Latin America cassava is
associated only with marginal farm environments. The largest producers in this
part of the world are Brazil and Paraguay and most of their produce is used as
animal feed. The Brazilian version of tapioca flour is called fariha. In
Colombia and Paraguay the roots are eaten fresh and raw. Casabe is a flat bread
made of dried, mashed roots, which is used in the Caribbean and North-eastern
South America. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Did you know that Kerala and very
rural parts of Vietnam and China are the only places in the world where cassava
is boiled and eaten without processing? F<a href="http://www.fao.org/docrep/009/y1177e/Y1177E02.htm" target="_blank">AO states so in one its researcharticle and claims this practice of preprocessed consumption as a very rural practice</a>. (I wonder why Srilanka, which has parallels for almost all Kerala
versions of Tapioca dishes is not mentioned here). Look at this quote from that
paper “Fresh consumption has limited growth potential, and in fact will
probably decline with increasing urbanization and changes in dietary
preferences”.</span></div>

mustard and grated coconut replaces mashed potato. The sauce, then obviously
had to come from a place of relevance to this cuisine. The Indonesian green
chilly sambal is the inspiration for the sauce. The base of this sauce is
steamed chilies. Not to mention that it was improvised to fit the larger
perspective of the dish. The beef on the plate is basically minced beef steak
in soya sauce and garlic. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Everyday news papers come up
with a lot of hue and cry on ‘’Why should we not eat’” a new particular thing.
The veggies are being tested positive for pesticide residues and meat is being
rated ‘hazardous’’, thanks to the production and post production techniques. Increasingly
food joints are being raided and adulterated food is being brought to light. New
findings explaining the science of why a particular food can harm your health have
become a daily thing. In totality, we seem to live in a world of fright. In the
contest between the taste bud instincts and the informed intellect, often the fright
wins it for the intellect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>
The Organic Market</h2>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The ‘Organic Market’ is one major
beneficiary of this increasing fright. Brands, certifications and other perceived
symbols of ‘safe food’ are growing to be variables in the decision to eat or
not to eat. Anything green is perceived to be organically produced. Stores now
have dedicated shelves for organic food but at a premium price. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The term ‘’organic’ has ultimately become a symbol
of sellability. This is not just limited to organized marketing. Being organic;
eating organic; wearing organic; these have become style statements of the day.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This is not to suggest that we
must ignore the breach of safety norms in food production and processing. Instead,
this is to suggest that ‘’Being Organic’’ as it is popularly perceived today,
is resulting in two scenarios.<br />
<h2>
Scenario 1: The Organic Label winning over the food culture</h2>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The first scenario is that the ‘’culture’’
of trust in agri-culture is being replaced by symbols of being ‘organic’. For
instance, there are many eateries across the world which got popular because of
its patron’s trust that food served there won’t be compromised on its safety and
purity. So is the case with farmers whom people trust to produce safe food. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now this trust is not based on any certification.
In other words, these food producers and the food they produce are not ‘’Organic’.
Now, this is where I get confused. Aren’t they <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>more ‘Organic’”
as the process of building this age old trust is genuinely organic. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><br />
<h2>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Scenario 2: The vicious organic cycle</span></h2>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The second scenario is that, more
the fear on the safety of food, the more the demand for so called organic food. Reluctantly, the shelves of stores will have more and more premium food. Gradually, being premium
will replace the trust element discussed above. The market existence of non
certified good food will be seriously challenged. The only possibility to exist
as 'good' would be to be sold as premium. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
More serious is this issue as we
look at it from the access to food perspective. In the vicious supply demand chain
of organic food, good and safe food will increasingly become inaccessible to
the common man.<br />
<h2>
The foodie's New Year Resolutions</h2>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The increasing list of not to eat,
is an existential identity challenge for every foodie. As a hardcore foodie, my
New Year resolution is to fight hard to remain a foodie. Thus these personal New
Year resolutions;</div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
The
access to diversity and quality of food always has been the core value of
Calicut food industry. Another key quality of Calicut food culture has been its
adaptability to different genre of food. A good example of this is the
mushrooming food joints copying the American fried chicken concept and are offering
almost the same quality, ambience and the value system associated with it.Food joints in Calicut
and the places around have utilized all alphabets Á’to ‘Z’’, as prefix for FC (Fried
Chicken) as names.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
So
is the case with Italian food. New joints serving Italian food are opening up in
Calicut and people are accepting them happily to be a part of the <a href="http://malabarfoodies.blogspot.in/2016/09/the-calicut-brand-of-food.html">Calicut brand
of food</a>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
However,
the story of Momos in Calicut never has been the same. Momos are always known to
be connected with streets and the rest of India, especially its northern side
has accepted it as an everyman’s snack. The most popular momo joints are street
food joints. Dolma Aunty’s momo joint in Lajpath, New Delhi, is the best example
of this. But in Calicut, momos were till now restrained to high end coffee
shops and hotels and never were accessible to the foodie public of Calicut. Momos
are known in these hotels mostly in the larger bracket of dumplings, which
would be an alien term to the streets and street foodies. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Thankfully,
Calicut has now responded to this culinary gap. A ‘’food on wheel’ joint called
‘’Eat Box’” has come up with momos, combining it with the street feel. The Éat
Box”’ parks opposite to Sarovaram Bio Park, starting from four in the evening
and sells wonderful ‘’Nilpan’” cuisines. (Nilpan is the Malayalam expression
referring to having a quick standing drink at a bar counter, without even wasting
time to sit down). They are open till eleven thirty in the night. </div>

As
in any street kiosk, the menu is simple and straight forward here. Eat Box serves Momos, Falafel, Kebab Rolls,
Cinnamon Tea and couple of premixed fruit flavored drinks. The rates are pretty reasonable to Kerala
standards. </div>

The
whole presentation, with an illuminated logo and subtle graffiti is so inviting
that, I made my wife wait for half an hour before she was picked up, as I was
dragged in by the surprise of street momos in Calicut. The vendor, who had a
sling bag as the cash chest was taking impressive efforts to introduce these
dishes which are new to the streets of Calicut. He introduces falafel as a
softer version of Parippu Vada (Lentil Vada). These to me are signs of momo
getting inducted into the culinary vocabulary of the Calicut brand of food. </div>

Another
added pleasure for me at Eat Box was meeting Chandro Jamathia from Udaipur,
Tripura, who is the chef at this new venture. I suggested him to introduce <a href="http://malabarfoodies.blogspot.in/2016/12/the-foodies-diary-from-agartala.html">Russian salad</a>, as
it is called in the streets of Tripura, a chicken delicacy, which I expect to
win the hearts and tongues of Calicut. </div>

language of Tripuris) from me, for sure made the day for Chandro Jamathia. </div>

Every food trail in Tripura starts with pork and leads to pork. However, to unearth it you need a real explorers will, as the local food culture of the state is being overpowered by the inevitable consequences of the Bangla cultural hegemony. The local cuisine is now being dominated by Bangla delicacies, however, this is not to be confused with the natural give and take evolution that melting pots of culture undergo. This is exactly why this foodies diary demanded a challenging exploration.</body></div>

The first food stop was at a tiny tea joint, where we were taken by surprise by the cousin version of 'Madakku' an old time Kerala snack.</div>

Shingli Jamathia, a very talented final year student at NIT Agartala instantly realised the kind of places and food we were looking for. He unleashed all his resources to ensure the richness of our experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>
Food, Food and more Food</h2>
Through twists and turns and roads narrow, we reached Lalit Bazar, where we attended a Christmas carnival. And there I found what I was looking for. Stalls umpteen,all serving pork, chicken, fish and snail in diverse formats. That means food, food and more food.</div>

The spread here was elaborate, served one by one as in a multi course meal. The dry fish based side chutney , 'gudog' was strong but unique. The baking soda based chutney 'Puhan awandro' is also an essentiality with rice.</div>

One interesting feature was the similarity of the chicken and mutton dishes to a typical 'garam masala' based malabar chicken or mutton masala. We attributed this similarity to the possible influence of missionaries from the southern part of the country.</div>

The yellow one is made of maida and the brown of wheat. The end note of this diary can't be nothing else than the percieved class question between maida and wheat.As malabar is busy establishing the villain in maida, this part of the world, from where this diary is noted, considers maida a luxury and that's served only to guests, in their honour. The host would rather restrain to wheat roti.</div>

It was a day worth reliving a hundred days. We were attending the ' belong ceremony' of Kalai community. It is a tradition being followed since 447 years. The event goes after the Udaipur king handing over the ceremonious sword to Kalai community. The event is called 'Kalai Rai Balma Pandas' which translates Kalai King Carrying Ceremony. Here is where the 7 ministers of the community from all across Tripura come together to make the rules for the community.<br />

The event ends with the retiring king taken on the Thang Chang, the chariot to his home. The new king will be selected, rather the sixth minister will be promoted as the king the next day<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 17.12px; text-align: justify;">Travelling by train, an unfortunate circumstance given the cancellation of flights in Delhi due to fog, led me to relive the inevitable reality – when it comes to woman, action is taken only when an ‘incident’ happens. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: justify;">Image source:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/405605510159754509/</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 17.12px; text-align: justify;">Sitting in a near empty compartment and reading the latest e-books, I was finally enjoying some ‘me’ time and reminiscing of some memorable train journeys in the past. I was lost in my own world until it came time for dinner; I rose up from my seat and walked up to the wash stand. I noticed the smell of spirits when I crossed a compartment, twice removed from mine. A group of men (who I later came to know were from the Army) were noisily enjoying high spirits and snacks. It felt unsafe to walk through them and yet it was unavoidable. Suddenly, my safety seemed precarious, a hundred different stories of women being assaulted, shared by aunts, sisters, friends and complete strangers rang true in my ears. It didn’t feel right to just sit there and do nothing. If it wasn’t me, someone else could get hurt, I thought. So, I did the decent thing, I informed the head food server in my compartment </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 17.12px; text-align: justify;">and asked him to call the TT. In no time, I saw men slinking away from the said compartment and by the time the much delayed TT arrived, they had all apparently disappeared.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 17.12px; text-align: justify;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 17.12px; text-align: justify;">It was the TT’s explanation that angered me the most, he began by explaining how half the population in the compartment were Army men and were hence in some way above censure. He then went on to tell me, none of the culprits were from the bogey we were in but had seemed to have come in from an adjoining bogey to drink. Next, even more ludicrously he told me that if I wanted to file a complaint, I could do so on ‘Twitter’. For a moment I laughed, wondering how it would have looked, a Twitter post that read, “#heartofjoy@help I am being raped”. He claimed he could take action only when an ‘incident’ was reported.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 17.12px; text-align: justify;">That’s what happens all the time, isn’t it. We wait for a woman to get assaulted, raped, murdered and then blame it either on her provocative dressing or on her questionable character or on her unfortunate circumstances and if nothing else works we can always blame the man for being drunk and thus senseless. And for all my efforts, I was rudely woken up by two railway policemen at 1am at night and asked for my Seat No. and PNR. That’s it!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
It’s
said that the evolution of any great food is a give and take process amongst the
cultures that the place has been exposed to. The Calicut brand of food vouches
for this as every food served here would tell you the cosmopolitan history of Calicut-
the Arab, the Portuguese, the Dutch and the British. Along with the export of
the ‘spicy spices’, culinary likes and dislikes were also imported. The Biriyani,
Appam, the range of diverse Kerala breakfasts, the Mappila snacks, the of-late
shakes/sheiks are all products of this cultural give and take. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not to mention, the cultural openness of
Calicut is not just limited to its food, but also extends to its people.<br />
Hari Menon titles his article in Outlook Traveler <a href="http://www.outlooktraveller.com/food-and-drink/oh-calicut-1005436" target="_blank">Oh ! Calicut</a> which shares the same spirit .</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Though
'Calicut Food’ may not classify itself as an approved category within the culinary
taxonomy, it is becoming a fast evolving brand. Interestingly, it’s not just
about food. The Calicut Food brand has evolved to be much beyond food. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s about its people, the way they perceive food,
their language, their stories, it's rebellious ‘new generation’ and much more. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Apparently, it’s about the wide range of Mappila and Thiyya food and food
joints.However, it has much more to it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
In December 2006,when the whole of South East Asia was running
away from the beaches, not to be hit by Tsunami, some hard core foodies of Calicut were found headed towards the beach to have their last ‘Beef Biriyani’ from Rahmath (A hotel in
Calicut popular for its Beef Biriyani). They best describe the foodies of Calicut and are the major contributors to the brand.<br />
<br />
The Calicut brand is a also about the curious
non-Calicut Keralites whom I over hear quite often, pointing at an old
restaurant, referring to it as the original ‘Ustad Hotel’. (Ustad Hotel is a box
office super hit Malayalam movie, revolving around a Malabar hotel and its food
culture)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Wait
a moment, it’s also about the local people who would step into one of those
mushrooming coffee joints, and confidently order Lasagna. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t be surprised if you are served hot Lasagna
or a Bruschetta in Calicut, matching global standards. Not to mention the best
in the world cakes, inheriting the baking history of North Malabar.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
For Calicut,
which never had a place in the tourism map, its food is bringing people in. The
Calicut brand is equally being exported as well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Here
are some snaps taken from Cochin International Airport, where the brand does
the trick for them.</div>

This 'big' family, two coupé across mine were all happy and seemed to be on the merry ride. </span><br />

Though surprised, she poured some. He moved on to the open door of the train and threw the water as he washed the cup. ' How rude? said I, but to myself, and so did the young fair girl's expression. My eyes were rolling around three foci; one the indifferent man; the surprised girl and then the pack of five or so bottles of 'Bisleri' water that was stocked by the girl's family on the overhead carrier. I was surprised of why did not they carry 'their own water' along with the grand spread they had with them. May be they had forgotten and then spent a hundred rupee or so to have 'their own water' in stock.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Interrupting my mind's wander, rather to my surprise, the man, with the washed cup, walked back to the girl and then.. extended the glass once again.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Perplexed was she as she poured a full glass of 'her own Bisleri water'. Quite indifferently, as if a word of gratitude was not due, the man walked away and fed the water to his kid. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">What happened next was magical, just to me, or may be to a few more ill/logical souls as mine. A lady in black, quite possibly the girl's mother, stared a glaring stare at the girl, as if she had done something insane. Not even a word spoken, more people in the 'big family' got involved, none spoke a word, but all seemed to have clear intentions. Taking it all, the girl, shy in nature, but now with conviction, walked up to the man and his family. She seemed to be in complete command now. She extended the 'bottle of 'Bisleri water 'and asked "would you like to have more?. "</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Now perplexed was the man, but in a loving Kasarkode accent she insisted 'Ithu Vacholi'. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">The water now passed from hand to hand amongst the man's family, each of them taking a sip of it. The man's dilemma rose as the bottle passed on gradually losing its content and more importantly it's identity.-From 'their' to 'everyone's'. Reassuring him was the girl with a very satisfied smile and adding more to it came the comments, do not know from where; 'after all its water' and 'they have more water for themselves". </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Now, what am I doing in this train,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">watching the water metamorphosis -from 'mine' to 'their' and then to 'everyone's'?. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">I have been rerouted changing from rail to road and then from road to rail, because out there 'they' were killing the 'others' because they took the water which was not 'their'</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Good that I rerouted myself, as now I read Menu's, Ann's and Dhanya's Whatsapp messages that, "it's still not safe out there".</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Well there"s more 'my own Bisleri water' left with me for the rest of the journey.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The most popular tummy-filler of Mumbai
has made its way to Calicut. A Franchise of Goli, the Vada Pav Chain has opened
opposite to Tagore Hall. They have 7 different versions of Vada Pav and we
tried Mix Veg Vada Pav, Aloo Tikki Vada Pav and Masala Vada Pav . All the three
tasted really good. The Garlic Chatni adds a lot of life to the dishes. The cost
of all the dishes varies from 35 to 45. For a Cheese- add on, they charge an
extra 15. Pretty expensive compared to what ‘Vada Pav’ stands for. The dish is
pretty well known as a tummy filler with the least money spent. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The
first time that I tried, rather was forced to try this place was three days ago
as I and Vinodettan went in search of some food parcels with our Gond artist friends
(Everything else was closed by that time). Then after, Nanma, I and Jinu went
for dinner there, day before yesterday. I had lunch and dinner here yesterday.
If not addiction, what else do you call it?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
‘Fooding’
here is an experience. It gives you a feeling of community eating. They have large
round tables around which at least ten can sit. For me, a stranger intruding
into your dining table (this often happens in small hotels) is uncomfortable.
But here, for reasons unknown I was very comfortable with nine strangers around
me. May be it was the night, the crowd, the ambiance, the highway alongside,
the bright lights, the sharp smell that the place smells of, or may be all of
it, I don’t know what. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were conversations, jokes and much more,
which brought us all to a common ground. The ‘ritual’ of an old man (that’s the
case almost everywhere) trying to get the attention of the vehicles on the
highway with a hotel signage in his hand is followed here as well. However, the
difference is that it’s an easy job for him as he gets unnoticed against the
bright light, life and energy of the place which automatically drag people in.</div>

On
the first attempt, we parceled some chicken 65. However, the ‘fooding’ here is
incomplete without the ambiance. So sorry, ‘chicken 65’!, you are not being reviewed.
After all, there is bird flu in the air. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With Jinu and Nanma, we tried Chicken Sukka
and Porotta. ‘Correction, Jinu had Baji and Porotta! Its Advent.’ All these
dishes appeared to be wrong choices to me as they somehow didn’t fit to the
setting. (The air smelled fried and more fried). Moreover, it was a good excuse
for a revisit. And to top it up, our friend Kiran, who visited us during dinner
was curious about our review. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
It
was new information for me that the place is open for lunch. The lunch as such
is on a low key, but the specials, as they call it, adds flavor, a lot. Mantha
(Sole Fish) which was the add-on was a lunch in itself. It reminded me of the classic
fish and chips. I went back for dinner at the same place despite the distance (Anything
for ‘fooding’). All highway joints have certain similar dishes to offer, all
fried with fried marinade topping. This joint also offers almost all of them.
However, a vegetarian innovation that I found here is ‘Pavakka Masala’
(Bittergourd Masala). I got a portion parceled to be tried at home. On a second
thought, to confirm the taste, I asked for a morsel. The end result; two
portions were parceled. Koonthal (Squid) masala also tasted great.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
By
the way, this place is on the Trissur Highway ,a few meters further ahead from
Thondayad junction. Trust me, you won’t miss it and if you do, you really are
missing an experience. </div>

<title>Brunch at Brown Town</title>
</head>
<head>
</head>
Every once in a while who doesn't like catching up with their colleagues for a light brunch. Heavens know I do. A late morning chatting and catching up session is essential for our sanity.<br />
<br />
Saturdays when we have early morning Staff Meetings, is perfect opportunity for such outings. Hena, my colleague and I, use this time to rant and unwind. It's a great stress buster. What has been adding to our experience is the great fare at Brown Town, Paragon Group's new bakery.<br />
<br />
Let 's start with dessert. So the Cappuccino Mudpie is like an all time favorite but we have also recently added their Chocolate Ganache and Apple Pie to our list. Their pastry chef is out of this world, you need to try it to believe it.<br />

While they don't have much choice with main courses I do vouch for their Chicken Club Sandwiches which is accompanied by Potato Chips and a Salsa Salad. Their regular Cappuccino and Fresh Lime Mint Juice are perfect accompaniment to this dish. <br />

<i><b>Nirmal Reporting...</b></i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every time I visited Delhi I was given strict instructions by Jinu to pack Chaat Papadis and
Aloo Chaat on my way back. I used to buy leak proof boxes of Chaat which would then be frozen overnight and taken through the stringent airline security to finally reach Calicut. And then Punjab Di Rasoi happened and I am now a free man.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, Calicut has a genuine North Indian vegetarian place.</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We have tried a lot of things here. In fact my wife is constantly found here during lunch hour with her office colleagues. She vouches for the North Indian Thali priced at Rs. 120/-. She also occasionally goes there in the mornings for breakfast (faults of having a good eating place near a foodie's office). They serve classic Madras fare in the mornings - Dosa, Idli, Vada, Poori Bhaji and the like.<br />
<br />
The last time we were at Punjab Di Rasoi (together), we tried
Lassi and Paav Bhaji.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Lassi here is a perfect blend of taste and texture. They
have two variants, Malai and Mango. Malai is our family favorite. Our cousin Dafy,
who was visiting from Delhi had Lassi with us here and agreed to its authenticity.
Mind you, one glass of regular Lassi can really fill you up. Nanma, the little
foodie loved it, as is evident from the picture.</div>

They also have some smashing desserts like their paan-flavoured Rasmalai. In the evenings they serve a variety of Chaats and other variants of street food. The Northern-style Pickle, Vinegar-ed Onions and Pudina Chutney platter - a mainstay of all North Indian Hotels- is also available on demand.</div>
<br />
Though there is no
other food joint in Calicut of the order of Punjab Di Rasoi, we have seen an evident deterioration
in the ambiance of the place over time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the food experience remains. Adjacent
to the hotel is their new Sweets Store which offers you a wide variety of North
Indian sweets, otherwise rare in Calicut. A must try!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Beware this trap awaiting you on the hotel tables..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It’s said that the aesthetics of
the dining space positively contributes to one's appetite. It’s quite common these
days for hotels in Calicut to have a bottle of ‘packaged drinking water’,
placed on the table. The placement is so inviting that it gives a hospitable feeling
to the patron. Well, how wonderful an idea is that to have a bottle of water ready for you
(ranging from the ones directly fetched from the source of the Ganges to the
ones which push your adrenaline in one single sip) as you walk in thirsty and
hungry. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Bearers of course used to ask if
you need bottled water earlier as well. However, this query was mostly meant
for patrons from abroad. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These days,
they don’t even ask but leave a bottle on the table prompting you to grab it.
You have to ask for plain water, if you want it so. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As a policy, I try to avoid ‘mineral
water’. This means that most the time, I have to ask for plain water. Now here
lies the crux of the story. The moment you ask for plain water, many hotels in
Calicut get you warm water. Please don’t do the mistake of asking for chilled
water. “You will have to buy the bottles for chilled water”. Sorry, the steel
jugs with condensed water on its surface are extinct. (Please don’t mistake me
for generalizing, but it’s a fast emerging trend).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am angry as I write this. I wonder
how much of profit a bottle of water could fetch. Does that compensate the cost
on compromising the warmth of Calicut’s hospitality?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Hoteliers of Calicut, I would
suggest, please don’t buy this idea of ‘Water sale”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

This photograph was taken from Marina Residency in YMCA Cross Road. They of course served us cold water on demand. We tried the Seven Seas Restaurant in Marina Residency. The
premium version of this restaurant in the same hotel seems to be closed. Well,
sorry to state that it’s a poorly air-conditioned space. We tried Harira soup. I
have no complaints, but my taste buds did not seem to be enthused by the idea of
this Moroccan soup. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ‘Prawns
Pulimunchi’ was just BAD. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

The Govt of Kerala estimates that
there are approximately 2.5 million migrant labourers in Kerala. It is unarguably true that this supports the labour base and thus the economy of
Kerala. Often they are referred to as a ‘system’ wthat handles the labour side of
the economy. Individuals are not important here, even names are not. ‘Bengali’,
‘Punnadan’, Assami, Hindiwala and Bhai in common, well..why should we <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>care for more? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Rooba restaurant in Malaparamba
runs it show with an extremely talented ‘migrant labour’ chef. Munna is from
Bengal and he cooks everything from Nadan to Chinese. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a typical fast food (where you get the
food fast) place which offers you dishes worthy in terms of cost and taste. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This has been a regular eat-out place for us for
a long time when we used to live close to this place. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Here the chef and his kitchen greet
you before the receptionist does (cash counter in other terms). And at least
for us this adds to our food experience as Munna offers a warm smile as you walk
in. “Bahut Din Baad Aa Rahe Ho?” (Seeing you after so many days). This is Munna’s
regular welcome note for us. Two days before as we walked in he said “Mein Bhai
se Pooch Raha Tha ki Un ke friend to bahut din se dekha nahi” (I was asking
Brother (referring to me) that he did not see his friend (referring to Jinu)
for many days). He adds a smile to all the dishes he serves you. However,
we can’t assure you that he does this for all.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Rooba has offered us good food almost always we have dined there. The servings for almost all dishes here are
large. This place won’t create a hole in your pocket. However, they
serve pretty high in oil and masala. So it’s not suggested as a regular dining
out option. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We tried butter chicken
and porotta the other day, which was tasty but heavy in oil. We also had 'Nice Pattiri' for <a href="http://malabarfoodies.blogspot.in/2016/10/a-picture-storyfor-change.html">the little foodie</a> (Nanma our eight month old toddler)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
However, I should add that this
place usually does not disappoint us. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
got to be a bit wise in the choice of your dish and I am sure you will have a happy dine-out. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Monsoon season is almost upon us. Rain in Calicut often means big puddles, waterlogged roads, dirty feet and with it a cool freshness that lends the coastal air a special zing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was in Wayanad, my favorite activity on a rainy day was to snuggle with a good book, enjoying a hot, steaming plate of good old Maggi. I am sure everyone has a food memory attached to rain. There are those who have stood outside college and feasted on hot Pakoras from the roadside vendor on a cold, wet day. There are of course some other friends (like Rani), who have enjoyed walking in the rain, eating cold Ice Cream. There are still others who would vouch on a Masaledar Bhutta (Corn) to make their day, during monsoon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, in Calicut, at the onset of monsoon let me guide you all to Noufal Cholayil's Shop. From Mavoor Road when you turn right to enter the RP Mall Parking, his stall is right there on the side. He sells Cauliflower Bajis and Chilli Bajis. From the cozy, air conditioned mall, out into the sun or the rain, Noufal's Pakoda Trolly seems to be rightly placed to help you absorb the shock. The spicy, tangy flavours, subconsciously takes you back to your childhood, where you cherished freshly stolen, raw mangoes with salt and chilli powder (from my mango stealing stories, Jinu now perceives any mango tree in Kerala to be social property; so stealing a mango is not stealing as such, at the least it is dignified stealing).<br />
<br />

<br />
Now back to Noufal's Bajis...we have tried bajis in other
streets of Calicut as well but Noufal stands out for his unique presentation, heart-load of Calicut hospitality and near-perfect location. He serves his bajis neatly on a piece of
banana leaf laid over a steel plate. He has Gobi (Cauliflower) Baji,
Mulagga (Capsicum) Baji, Parippu Vada and Roasted Peanuts. Both the Bajis taste extremely good but we have had better Parippu Vadas else where.<br />

Lunch Houses (Mess Houses as they are called) are places which are considered
to have fresh lunch on a daily basis. They manage to be pretty close to our
home made preparations and thus are considered to be safe. Usually open only
for lunch they see heavy footfall from the average office crowd. Calicut's Amma
Mess is a pretty popular place and is heavily crowded on almost all days.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Two
Mess Houses that we have found interesting are the Brother's Mess in Chelavoor
(though they call it Brothers Hotel) and Chaithanya (hope I have got the name
right) at Vengeri Junction in the Kannur Bypass Road. But the best of all has
been Maniyettan. Maniyettan, is a local chef who cooks for our 'rarely rare'
official lunches and dinners. He is sort of a freelancer, if the term applies
to catering as well (he does not run a hotel, but cooks for parties) and is a
master in his own right. </span></div>

Metropolitan cities, like the one I grew up in, have always offered to their youth a slew of coffee shops. They would range from the serene and quaint to the most happening places where you could go to catch up with your friends or spend some time reading a good book, at the same time, enjoying an excellent coffee. After my shift to Kozhikode, I missed the good old coffee shop. Its cousin, the Cafe Coffee Day, did not serve to help because I hated the food there and somehow it never seemed to me a comfortable place. I longed for a place where I could sit down to relax, enjoy and just have some good fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last year I chanced upon DownTown and thought my wish had finally come through. A swanky looking small place which first attracted me with its decor and later with its mouth watering pastries. I had finally found heaven!</div>

This place has changed much since the first time I saw it, I love bits of it and there are bits of it I don't like. So, here's my honest review of this place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first time I walked into this place, I was caught up with the neat looking decor and the handsome waiters. I have now found out that the waiters who serve us are in fact directors/members of the board of this hotel, which is planing to expand to different cities in Kerala. These young boys look real cool in their black mandarian-style shirts and blue jeans. Somehow this personalized attention they pay to this chain makes you feel real special.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
About the food, well we have tried many things here, if not all. We have tried the Filter Coffee - which is excellent and at Rs. 50, I think quite well priced. The Cold Coffee with Ice Cream, which is my personal favourite, the Mint Lime with its oodles of crushed ice, which gave Nirmal brain freeze and the Saffron Tea, which was specially liked by my friend from London.</div>

Their burgers are great. We especially like the Yellow Chicken Burger. What is disappointing here are two things - the sandwiches and the sizzler. The bread in the sandwiches (we tried the Chicken Club) I felt was dry and rough and were cut to amazingly small sizes. It just made our eating experience bland and frustrating. Similarly, the Chicken Sizzler we tried was (for want of better words) just not right. It was high on pepper and salt and tasted like one of those chinese chicken curries with cornflour.</div>

What I love about this place are the pastries. They are simply heavenly. I believe that with DownTown opening in Calicut the entire baking industry has gone for an upheaval. If you want to see some of their most innovative cakes, log on to their facebook page and be awed.</div>

One thing that I do avoid at DownTown are the takeaways. They have kept some good looking small pastries and some Caramel Donuts in boxes which can be picked up as desert choices when guests come home but they don't stand tall next to the fare served there. The last time I had guests I bought the Caramel Donuts to serve after dinner. After talking about the place for over half hour when I introduced the Donuts to them, my guests were all excited. However, to our horror and later embarrassment, these donuts were flat out hard and very rubbery. When I put them in the microwave and reheated them, they were still not soft enough and we could barely taste the caramel. Their pastry takeout was another disaster, which luckily my husband and I tried out in the confines of our home. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before I forget, now that the place has been hip and happening, I find crowd management to be a huge issue. Mostly because, you go to a coffee shop to lounge and chat and basically spend time. But, given the smallness of the place it often becomes too crowded and too noisy. The last time I went there in the evening, I found the music too loud and the place too crowded for me to enjoy anything at all. Hence, I have vowed to go there only in the afternoon's when I know, it will be just the way I want it to be. </div>

Yesterday, we had a large party at home, our friends from Bangalore wanted something Continental; our parents wanted to have Parotta and some Malabari Curry; our mind was wavering to Italian - the only place in Kozhikode that offers such variety is MGrill at Focus Mall, so off we went. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let me begin by stating the obvious, I love MGrill. It gives me a wide variety of food under one roof and rarely disappoints me. The bearers are very polite and always ready to help. I also love the whole ambiance, with the open kitchen and all. Somehow the sight of fresh food being made, the smell of different ingredients and the heat in the air (from all the cooking), adds to the food experience (for me). <br />
<br />
We began with our favorite, the Traditional French Soup, served in a bread bowl, it is creamy and very whole. I especially love the fried onions that are added to the soup, really enhances the flavor. If had alone, it is enough to fill one's stomach but since we were sharing, it managed to heighten our taste buds to enjoy the lavish dinner. <a href="http://malabarfoodies.blogspot.in/2016/10/a-picture-storyfor-change.html" target="_blank">My six-month old</a>, loved the Soup and kept asking for more. </div>

For the main dish, we all ordered diversely. Our friends had the Honey Balsamic Chicken and the Chicken Portobello, we had the Arrabbiata, while our parents shared Maida/Wheat Parotta with the Fish Mango Curry and the Kerala Prawns Curry. </div>

Our friend's young son, who ate the Chicken Portobello said, "The chicken is quite nice", which is huge praise coming from a 12-year old. The Honey Balsamic Chicken was also awesome, I especially liked its smoothness. </div>

We enjoyed the Arrabbiata, the pasta was very well made and juicy. The olives were well blended and added zing to the spiciness of the tomato-based sauce. To the Parotta and Malabari Curries my parents replied, "Kozhapam Illa", which is awesome, 'cause they rarely like eating out. </div>

Why no deserts, well I would have loved to try some Choco Mudpie but my daughter was past her sleeping time. Somehow toddlers never appreciate food over good sleep. Hence, had to leave in a hurry. </div>

For some the prices at MGrill may look a little high but for us this lavish dinner came to about Rs 250/- per person, which I thought was pretty reasonable. </div>
