Calicut Biryani and More

 You wouldn't associate Calicut with biryanis. But thanks to my friend Ravi, who was my culinary guide, we tasted the Kuttichira biryani, a speciality of a locality near the beach there, and lots more. This is what friends are for, right? Pics from a couple of eateries that we visited. And more.. 


A dhow.. these are made at Beypore near Calicut, and were used for trade with the Gulf countries.

At IIMK.
