Kozhikode is a major trade center and one of the most important tourist destinations in Kerala, and its cuisine, a fusion of Malabar and Arab flavors, is renowned for its meat dishes and desserts. Kuzhi Mandhi (shrimps, mutton, chicken, and fish), Kozhikode pav bhaji (special chicken gravy fillings), Erachi Pathiri (soft rice bread with meat fillings), Erachi/Meat curry, and Aradika are all dishes that a cuisine enthusiast can never miss (rice flour and mussels).
You might always choose the traditional Kerala Sadhya if you’re a vegetarian. Arikadukka, a dish made with mussels baked in rice flour in the shell, is also unique. The Calicut halwa, which is sold in a lot of bakeries, is another item that ought to be on your list of desserts. Kozhikode is renowned for its Malabar-style recipe for gently cooked biryani.
