food capital of Kerala known for some of the best food in Kerala so today we're gonna go on a food tour specifically a street food tour of Kota code well I've been is first gonna take us to this amazing fish fry spot chili fish fry spot and then later in the afternoon we'll be doing a lot of street food eating and I'm gonna share all the food with you in this video [Music] there's no parking at the fish spot so we're just taking we parked over on the other side in an empty lot and we're just walking down the street to get there I can almost smell the fish already so across the road then into like a construction zone and now down the neighborhood path oh I can smell it you're on your way to the fish yes but wafting down this entire alley you can smell the all of us on the coconut oil you could swing them into the contender let's go walk don't even take a seat just directly to the kitchen into the kitchen and the views of spices are just steaming around this room and just like floating around this room they have the mainly griddle pan which is over wood which is just sizzling with spices and he just like you flicked in some curry leaves it's just bubbling like hot lava slices of fish there's a number of different types of fish I think and then it's not his team fish Virgil guys conference pomp red light gonna go it's some black plum frets the massive pans of rice you can tell they're expecting a lunch rush and she is got none of us got up with you it is the smoldering away like lava over opens fire over boil just the combination of the curry paste and that coconut oil she's gonna take off this batch and then she's getting ready to make a whole nother batch but that is literally that's a bucket of curry paste and spices so get back they never know and then she takes they have an entire jug of coconut oil and she just splashes onto the the mother pan but that as soon as she pulls up and the unique way they she serves it as well as she takes hit she she flips the fish a few times then scoops it with as much curry paste as possible that will clean to the fish onto the plate so it's so juicy oily from that paste and coconut and then as soon as she takes them off she then goes to the the pot of curry paste it's innocent it's an instant marination so it's just like Rob as much of it onto the piece of fish as possible and directly onto the pan and then immediately a splash of coconut oil really when any of the flavors or ingredients get slow she just tosses on more coconut oil more curry leaves she just tossed on a fresh batch of curry leaves just like throws them on like splattering them across the pan but griddle that is one of the most beautiful griddles I think you'll ever see in the entire world with your umbrellas the spices this is a genius way to cook fish right like the fish fry is something you'll find all over kare 11's style this is mini really unique for this place this is the spot actually the mother used to prepare like this and they followed there's no special ingredient but this way of progression is unique to this place she's rehydrating in ways I've never even seen I've never even imagined before the splash of coconut oil from the jug just I'm just completely soaked and bathing in spices and steam and smoke and then when she feels necessary when it's the right time she just instinctively just makes it rain with curry leaves what a pro move like just literally grabbing into the another splash you can't miss it it's what she's literally a handful yeah of curry paste like scoots it like flicks it onto the fish version of who invented this she's just like tossing around lava she's playing with lava curry lava this is the only piece right I have seen so juicy oh yeah because we've got other fish fry that's more drier yeah because it it probably like dries them dry this they actually preserve the juiciness you can actually see that yeah it's just juicing juicing around itself should be going to desert fish curry or a fish fry or you'll be doing that I think it's like us yeah exactly you don't know and I can I can already see that you're gonna want that you want the deep dish you get your to the deep dish give you more sauce okay I think we should we should do this [Music] another fish curry so can you see the fish pieces all this is a defender idea fish it's not that spicy because of coconut I finally worked up the self-esteem to come out into the dining room at all they're full now I am like like if you looked at me right now it looked like I just got out of a swimming pool thank you so we're starting off with water from boiling rice yeah rice soup oh yeah it just varies like just like a gluten or starch from the rice right yep just very very simple it's exactly what it is but we know we need all the hydration we can get right now lemon plus mango right so what you have to do is you have to make a hole in your rice for the gravy for the and we got another curry coming right up next up for the fish curry oh I want a big hole yeah see she look like the ice - oh yeah yeah I cannot believe it yeah mark your smallest wall they come around with the pans of fish that they loaded up in the kitchen where they're frying yet you choose between the king fish and the palm fret and after seeing it being fried yet there was no way I was ever gonna make that decision of which one to to go for so if I got both and you then amazing because you make little holes in your rice for the different curries there's a fish curry and that one is the down dad lead on this with coconut here right coconut - god I'm an endoscope net maybe tomato the mother of a chili chili okay it's just this is like a painting splatter artwork it's beautiful can I serve some salt in it soup which we

outstanding I'm gonna begin with the king fish now and you can just see that caramelized coconut crust of Lama curry with the curry leaves the fish underneath it oh wow this is what just goes up in a flaming flaming mess of hot oil mixing with rice or no rice okay you just get the gist only their daily only the dish fish with that masalas taste of masala it's okay it's just like your chili powder it's like candy it's like curry candy just as good as the fishes you actually could eat it with no fish and just she could actually just be fair I have a curry paste in coconut oil and let me eat that with anything you could use that as a jam as a spread for anything as a topping for your name as it so flavorful that's because of the friendliness of that coconut oil as well as the masalas okay next up for the palm prep it's just like it's actually equal ratios of curry paste to fish they have their ratios in place the totally different texture than anything Vic I mean equally as good both of them [Music] more beans that lemon HR is just insane whoo it's so salty sour but that fish that fish [Music] and for the amount of pretty face they use the amount of chili powder that they use it is it is pretty decently spicy like you feel that he start to to grow on you you just want to wipe up every last drip some sauce though on your banana leaf it's just too much flavor condensed now you can't miss with every bite you just cannot believe yourself another just life-changing meal in Kerala the final swipe the final wipe I know this place is blister pika one finger yes plus the pickle

Winnick I made from plantains and ripe plantains and coconut so the sugar coating it caramelize most probably you can open any minute right you can just try to operate and see oh yeah don't set the onion case too the onions at the popular Michelle Shannon are shallot yeah this is mashed plantains outside okay this is the whole plant is juicy Oh papa just like juiced so juicy and oily the coconut

hill and I have to admit like there are they're all tastier than they look the insides of them the flavors of them they're all really tasty those are a little on the greasy side but they're so tasty and it starts like go good with heat from here we're gonna take a little walk towards the beach side towards the seaside where some food carts set up in the evening [Music] so the first stall that we have just arrived that he is famous for his soya chunks so it looks like a pan of mutton but that's all vegetarian those are made from soy beans if you can smell the curry leaves and again he gives it like that careless spice mixture there's chilies in there you can smell up I think they like the ginger and then also he he just splashes on the coconut oil again coconut oil yes I've never been so
