The culinary cornucopia of this land of looms and lore is as diverse and distinguished as its cultural legacy.Be it Onam, Vishu or Eid, Kannur cannot do away without meat and fish. Apparently, Hindu weddings are the only events in which strictly vegetarian food is served.The Kannur cuisine has been shaped by centuries of seasonings and food traditions from across of the world, including Arabian, Persian and European: all by tradesmen who thronged this place in the foregone era, importing their culinary specialties.So, if you are planning to be in Kannur for the 57th Kerala School Kalolsavam, don't forget to try these eight dishes.Thalassery biryani is simply the king of all biryanis in Kerala. It is a must-have for all those who visit Kannur. If you are hoping for a regular white rice biryani with a layer of masala lying underneath while ordering this one, you will be disappointed. Rice, chicken and spices are cooked together in a pot to make Thalassery biryani, which is ultimately a heavenly mishmash of white rice and golden brown masala.Kallumakkaya nirachathuAlso known as Kadukka, kallumakkaya or mussels is the one seafood that can play as the brand icon for Northern Kerala cuisine. This one dish, unique to the region, can be found on almost every nook and corner of Kannur. It takes some effort to make the perfect mussels as it is hard to clean and process them. But it’s worth the effort. Nothing can beat these chewy and fleshy seafood when blended with the right spices.
