After spending a day exploring Kochi, it was time to hit the highway for a road trip to Calicut! Come along with me and my boy Ebbin as we head out on a multiple-town south India street food tour that took us through Thrissur, another smaller tour, and eventually Calicut, where I tried some mackerel biryani! Let’s go!

My afternoon started in Kochi. We followed the road and stopped at a roadside tea shop about 16 km from Thrissur to have some chai. Ebbin got some banana fry and we got some lemon chai. It was super hot but good! It helped my scratchy throat!

Then, a guy I met there took me across the road to have some buttery tapioca with pork, coriander, and onions. It contained pork fat and was almost like bacon mixed with mashed tapioca. It reminded me of a lot of Latin-American dishes, where they mix mashed potatoes with pork.

Then, I got mutton intestines, mutton brains, and mutton liver topped with onion and coriander. The intestines were incredible with the coriander, masala, and crunchy onion. They were cleaned well and super spongy. The brains were harder and tougher than the others I’d had in the past, but were still tender. The liver was earthy and contained black pepper, onions, a nice masala, and coconut. The coconut gave it a tropical burst of flavor! It was some of the best food I’d had in Kerala so far!

This shop is 40 years old, and the mutton brains cost 100 rupees/$1.31 USD, the liver is 140/$1.84 USD, and the intestines are 80/$1.05 USD. This guy’s food is so good and the stall has so many aromas around it.

Next, as we continued to Calicut, I stopped for some refreshing and sweet sugarcane juice, which cost me 20 rupees/$0.26 USD. Along the way, I saw lots of fishermen. We arrived in Kottakkal, where we stopped at VH Avil Milk. It’s an open-air café that sells snacks and avil milk for 60 rupees/$0.79 USD each.

After trying some amazing dried mango, I got a bunch of avil milks and shared them with Ebbin’s friends. The dry fruit avil milk contained pistachios, milk, bananas, dried fruit, honey, cashews, puffed rice ,and pistachio ice cream. The puffed rice made it! It was even better than falooda!

With one avil milk left: the special, which doesn’t contain any dried fruits, just real, natural fruits, I dug into it. I loved the kiwi, pineapple, and banana. The coconut ice cream on top was incredible, too. In addition to the real fruit, it also contained basil seeds. It was so refreshing in the heat. This one was cheaper than the others at 40 rupees/$0.53 each.

Eighty minutes later, we arrived in Calicut and stopped at Modern Restaurant, where I started with coconut milk and then got squid, mackerel biryani, Kerala chicken with dry chilies, and fried king fish. The squid was unreal with the curry leaves, chilies, and masala, and the coconut gave it a wonderful, tropical flavor. I liked the crunch and spice of the chicken, and the king fish fry had soft flesh and no bones except the one in the middle.

Then, we had some pineapple with mint, which pairs well with the mackerel biryani. I’d never had fish biryani. It was really good with the onions, shallots, and masala. Then, I dug into the pineapple. The mint really pulled out the flavor of the juicy pineapple!

What an incredible south India street food road trip through Kerala! I have to thank my boy Ebbin for taking me around his amazing state. Follow him on Instagram and subscribe to his food and travel YouTube channel!
