Food Talks at Coastal Food Festival

 

Team Salt and Sandals visited Infinity to try the latest offerings during the “Dakshin Food Festival”. We present to you our top five picks from their cyclic festival menu.

1. Appam with Stew

 

 

Appam is a pancake mad with fermented rice batter and coconut milk. On other hand the vegetable stew aka ‘Ishtu’ is traditional Kerala style dish served with Appam. … One of the best Kerala style vegetarian dish that is healthy, easy to make and outright delicious. The white stew accompanying it is the best way to try the flaky appam with. The combination is a hot favourite breakfast fare in Kerala.

2. Chicken 65

 

Originated from Buhari restaurant in Chennai. This is the sort of dish that can set your mouth on fire, make your heart beat faster and kick the usual bread-coated fried chicken to the curb. It’s deep-fried (of course), with this crazy saltiness and crunchiness to it, and punchy flavours of curry leaves, ginger, garlic, chillies and all the ingredients that make a happy Indian dish. Chicken 65 is a classic, and a classic deserves special mention in our list.

3. Kori Ajadina

Kori ajadina is a dry, intensely aromatic dish that relies on grated coconut and Kundapur Masala powder to bring out the authentic flavors of Mangalorean cuisine. Also, commonly called as Chicken sukka, kori ajadina literally means dry chicken dish.

4. Payasam

Kheer, payasam, payesh or payasa, these are the many regional varieties of the same dessert. In Kerala, Payasam gets a dedicated space in the traditional thali during festivals like Onam or during the traditional Malayalam feast popularly known as Sadhya. In Tamil Nadu, payasam is served during most festivals like Gokulashtami and others. Traditional payasam includes ingredients like jaggery and coconut milk over sugar and dairy milk that is used predominantly in the North Indian variants.

5. Malabar Paratha

The great ‘Malabar Parotta’ or ‘Barota’ is a thing of immense joy. Distinct from its North Indian cousin (the Lachcha Parantha) and closer to its Malay counterpart, the Roti Cannai, a good Malabar Paratha is flaky yet fluffy, crisp yet soft. Having gorged myself sick on many of these, I can tell you that this unleavened flatbread is the perfect accompaniment to many a dish. These flaky thin layers will trap coconutty curries like Chicken Chettinad and rich meaty stews or provide the perfectly delicious crisp-soft cover for enveloping deep, dark, South Indian stir-fries. You know the ones that are abundant with caramelised shallots, pepper and curry leaves.

We headed over to @evenkeelasolas in Fort Lauderdale to try out some fresh seafood, offering a modern take on Floridian Coastal cuisine. The restaurant has a casual yet trendy ambiance, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It's located on one of the numerous piers dotting Fort Lauderdale's waterways  We tried out the Oysters served with hot sauce, tarragon and lime along with a smoked fish dip and a shrimp ceviche. We followed it up with Himachi Poke Gyoza Tacos, grilled Octopus and a hot Lobster Roll. We finished it of all with a gigantic Bloody Mary.  #snsxusa #saltandsandals #foodphotography #foodblogger #travelwriter #travelwithme #traveldiaries #florida #miami #fortlauderdale

I am never a fan of getting myself clicked but a tryst with history had a fan girl moment in me.
🏵️
During my graduation in history from Delhi University, I was a big fan of Roman history. So when I was actually in a historical place right out of my books, I couldn't stop myself from getting?

Often listed amongst the best beaches in the world, Anse Lazio in Praslin, Seychelles truly open gates to altogether new world. And let me tell you, reaching here was quite a journey. One has to reach the bottom of the hill to Zimbabwe either by car or bus, then one has to trek over a large forested jungle clad hill and along some way before you reach the beach. But the journey is well worth the effort with views that take your breath away perfect with fine white sands and gorgeous turquoise waters that are so clear you can watch the fish swim around you, it's no surprise Anse Lazio is frequently called 'the best beach in the world'.

When traveling, definitely discover a Beverage destination. We headed to the @Takamaka Rum Seychelles distillery with @Creole Travel Services where we fell in love with the slow pace, exquisite beach and two barrel aged rums. The Extra Dark is aged twice, first in French Oak and then in reused Bourbon casks for three years and the St. Andre which has been aged for eight years in American Bourbon casks. Which one should we get back for tasting?
