Ammini

If authentic Kerala cuisine is what you've been looking for, just head to Ammini on Manohar Pukur Road. The focus here is on quality, be it service or food: both are superb. The list of Kerala delights is small, but the food at Ammini will leave you happy and contented. Mrs Menon, the owner of the place often suggests the day’s specials. Start with fluffy idlis, Paniyarappams or the Addai Dosa with an assortment of chutneys... Coconut with Green Chilli Chutney, Red Chilli Coconut Chutney or the Ulli Chamandi (a spicy onion chutney) and the Molaga Podi (dry powder served with ghee). The mains consist of Potato Stew, Vegetable Korma, dry and hot spicy Mutton Olathede, the Naimeen Seer Fish Curry and Kerala Chicken Curry to go with hot Appams and Iddiappams. Weekend specials include Avial, Korma, Thoran, Brown Stew, Payasam, Kesari (suji halwa) and Unniappams (deep-fried bananas with jaggery, milk and coconut dumplings).
