Kallummakkaya (Mussels) Biryani

Kallummakkaya (Mussels) Biryani

At our South Indian food restaurant in Liverpool, we serve Kallummakkaya Biryani, also known as “Kannur Special Kallummakkaya Biryani”. This unique dish hails from the coastal city of Kannur in Kerala and is celebrated for its bold, aromatic flavours.

First, we marinate fresh mussels in traditional spices to enhance their natural taste. Then, we lightly fry the mussels until tender and golden. Next, we layer them carefully between fragrant basmati rice and cook the dish slowly using the Dum method. This slow cooking allows the spices, rice, and mussels to merge, creating a rich, flavourful biryani.

The result is a dish bursting with coastal Kerala flavours. Each bite offers tender mussels, fragrant rice, and perfectly balanced spices. Fans of Kerala cuisine in Liverpool, Malabar foods in Liverpool, or anyone seeking authentic Indian food in Liverpool will find this biryani irresistible.

Kallummakkaya Biryani pairs beautifully with raita, pickle, or a side salad, making it a complete and satisfying meal. Whether you dine at our Indian restaurant in Liverpool city centre or order from our Indian takeaway in Liverpool, this biryani delivers an authentic taste of Kerala’s culinary heritage.
