My twelfth and final day in Kerala began in the city of Thalassery. Come along with me and my boy Ebbin as we go on a northern Kerala food tour on our road trip from Kannur to Kozhikode, India!

It was 7 a.m. and I was super hungry, so we started at the Bombay Hotel in Thalassery. There, we had egg curry and string hoppers with a spicy tomato curry. I loved the roasted onions and juicy tomatoes. The yolk was cooked well! It was a nice, spicy breakfast. To top it all off, we ended with some delicious ginger chai! Our meal came to 180 rupees/$2.37 USD.

Forty minutes later, we arrived in Vatakara and stopped at MRA Bakery, which sells amazing-looking cakes and sweets. In the back is the restaurant! There, we tried their vada, banana fry, egg bonda, samosa, potato bonda, bread pakora, stuffed plantain, two-meter chai, chicken curry, and kallumakkaya (mussel fry).

The bread pakora was almost like a fried sandwich with masala, onions, potatoes in the middle. I also loved the super sweet stuffed plantain with chicken curry. It was a sweetness overload! The salty mussels had a nice masala on them, and I liked the lightly fried and doughy aloo bonda as well! We finished up with some sweet and tasty magic chai and a taste of the vada with chicken curry.

Outside the restaurant is MRA Fruits & Nuts, a market that sells bananas, grapes, oranges, apples, melons, pineapples, limes, plantains, dates, nuts, and more! I tried an sticky and chewy date before we drove on to Kappad, which is where Vasco de Gama first landed in India in 1498. There’s a beach named after him there!

Vasco de Gama Beach is a long, beautiful beach with a rocky pier. I also saw some fishing boats and a soccer field. Then, we saw the Vasco de Gama Monument, which is a pillar that looks almost like a tombstone.

After getting stopped by a train, we arrived in Kozhikode. I tried a super salty lime soda that I didn’t love, which costs 10 rupees/$0.13 USD each. Then, we went to Rahmath Restaurant, where we had their unnakaya, which is a boiled, mashed plantain that’s stuffed with lots of coconut and sugar and fried. It’s super sweet and delicious. I also loved the neypathal with mutton chaps, which was super buttery and peppery!

Then, we dove into the mussel biryani. It was the fishiest biryani I’d had but was so tasty. It wasn’t super salty like the mackerel biryani I’d had a few days earlier but it had a much more fishy taste. I tried it with the pickles first, which I didn’t love, so I went with the coconut-mint chutney next. I mixed it well and tried it—it was a great combination! It wasn’t spicy at all and adds a tropical feel to the mussel biryani.

Our total came to 745 rupees/$9.80 USD. The mussel biryani by itself was 250 rupees/$3.29 USD.

What an amazing Kerala food tour on our road trip from Kannur to Kozhikode!
