Egg Biryani, a popular variation of Kerala’s biryani, is prepared with fragrant basmati rice layered with spiced masala and boiled eggs. Garnished with fried onions, tomatoes, and fresh mint, this wholesome dish is a favourite for both festive occasions and everyday meals, offering a lighter yet flavourful alternative to meat biryanis.
Chicken Manthi, or Mandi, is an Arabian rice dish that has become a regional favourite. Prepared with fragrant basmati rice, whole spices, and a whole chicken roasted to golden perfection, it is traditionally cooked in a tandoor like underground pit. Served with chutney, salad, and raita. Chicken Manthi represents the strong Yemeni and Arabian culinary influence on Kerala’s cuisine.
