We were out on the Golden Mile and decided to take advantage of the opportunity to try Cafe Tea Talks, a Malabar/Kerala place. Since it was mid-afternoon, we took out and reheated the food for dinner.
One of their specialties is biryani so we ordered the Malabar beef version. It featured tender, slow-cooked beef; very coconutty and deeply spiced. The beef was embedded in fragrant kaima rice (extremely short grain). It came with some sort of beet sauce (pachadi?) and two containers of raw-onion and carrot raita.
Malabar cuisine apparently has a Yemeni connection and so we also ordered the Peri Peri Alfaham Mandi. A tender chicken leg was coated in a spicy sauce and served with basmati rice, redolent with cinammon and peppercorns. It came with what seemed like a spicy salsa and a garlic mayo. My wife preferred this to the biryani.
We also tried the kadala curry, made with black chickpeas. While rich in flavour, it was too salty. We also ordered some porotta, a soft, tasty, oily flatbread
