Authentic Moplah Cuisine in Kozhikode at Zain’s Hotel, Calicut, Mappila Cuisine, Chatti Pathiri, Kallumakaya, Mutton Stew, Chicken Biryani, Ghee Rice, Chicken Masala

Zain’s Hotel Kozhikode stands testament to Mrs Zainabi Noor’s firm resolve to showcase the Mappila cuisine of her family. Kozhikode’s first lady restaurateur, she began her culinary enterprise 29 years ago as a small tea stall dispensing evening snacks. Spurred by the love she received from her customers, Zain’s today stands tall in Calicut as the address for homestyle Malabar cuisine.

Food Lovers’ Editor, Kripal Amanna visits this cosy restaurant set in a home and meets the mother-daughter duo of Zainabi Noor and Shireen Mustafa who oversee every detail of the operation. He also looks at the making of their popular chicken biryani, ghee rice and chicken masala in their kitchen ‘manned’ only by lady cooks, before sitting down to a generous lunch.

CHATTI PATHIRI
A 12-layered baked pancake interspersed with eggs, poppy seeds and raisins, each bite is a delicious crunch followed by luscious overtones of the ghee, caramelised sugar and the textural play of nuts. This is one dessert that’s a must-have here.
rs 25. (usd 0.4)
8.5/10

KALLUMAKAYA NIRACHATHU
Twice cooked, first the mussels are steamed in a rice cake with spices and then fried, the kallumakaya niracathu is a speciality at Zain’s. Peel the shell away to reveal the mussel, the rice cake is a tad crunchy to the bite and yet moist within, the flavour of the masala has seeped into the rice dumpling.
rs 29. (usd 0.4) per piece
10/10

FISH FRY
Lightly coated with a masala that plays second fiddle to the flavours of the plump ayakora or kingfish, this fry snares the moist flakey-ness of the fish in a light crunch. The turmeric lends it a delightful golden-orange hue.
rs 200. (usd 2.8) per piece
8.5/10

MUTTON STEW
Rich in coconut milk, this creamy stew carries within itself juicy chunks of meat that is yielding and flavourful. The tingling sensation of green chillies on the palate is balanced by the ripe acidity of the tomatoes. Best savoured with the ghee rice.
rs 250. (usd 3.5) per piece
10/10

GHEE RICE AND CHICKEN MASALA
The rich chicken masala makes for the perfect companion to the aromatic ghee rice. Rounding up the rich tones of the onions, tomatoes and curry leaves is the coconut oil that floats to the top of this dish, absorbing the flavours of the vivacious masala along the way.
Chicken masala rs 150. (usd 2.1), ghee rice rs 60 (usd 0.8)
8.5/10

CHICKEN BIRYANI
This isn't a biryani that jostles your tastebuds, it embraces your palate gently with light flavours of the fried onions and spices. The chicken is moist, having absorbed the flavours of the marinade as it cooks slowly over dum for an hour. The biryani exudes a hint of smokiness, and is almost buttery on the palate thanks to the ghee, oil and vanaspati that goes into the cooking of this biryani.
rs 150. (usd 2.1)
