Most Popular Fish Fry and Fish Meal Restaurant in Kozhikode, Amma Hotel, Ayakora (Kingfish) Fry, Chembali (Red Snapper) Fry, Fish Meal
Come lunchtime and locals in Kozhikode (Calicut) flock to this eatery set in a home in the tiny bylanes of Puthiyara. What draws the crowd here is their Ayakora or Kingfish fry and their satisfying fish meal served on a banana leaf.
Food Lovers’ editor, Kripal Amanna visits this fish fry icon and after a tour of the kitchen where fish are slathered with a secret masala, lashings of coconut oil and fried over a rubber wood fire, sits down for a sumptuous meal.
AYAKORA (KINGFISH) FRY
a much loved fish in the city, found in almost every eatery. Served here with a thick layer of a spirited masala slathered on a thick slice of kingfish, the bite of the masala has almost tamed the flavour of the fish. Slightly salty and redolent with the aroma of coconut oil, the fish fry masala is also a great accompaniment to be savoured with the rice and lentil curry.

CHEMBALI (RED SNAPPER) FRY
a plump piece of red snapper naped with the Amma Hotel masala. Since this is a meatier fish than the ayakora, the masala doesn’t penetrate all the way in. if you like your fish fry robustly flavoured the ayakora is for you. but if you like it spicy and still want to enjoy the flavour of the fish the red snapper is what you should be trying.

FISH MEALS
The swollen grains of kuruva rice are the perfect medium to carry the flavours of a tasty vegetable paruppu curry and also tame the aggression of the spices in the fish fry masala. For a mere 50 rupees, this unlimited meal that includes a simple choora (tuna) curry, valakaya (raw banana) upperi and rasam, is a meal that provides nourishment, satisfaction and taste!
