A plate of Thalassery Biryani is a trip back to Muscat, where we used to have this at Al Bawader Restaurant, an old school hole in the wall eatery in Al Khuwair near the now famous Turkish House after Jumma Solat. The place opened after prayers and ran out of biryani after ten minutes. We used to make a line to buy the Friday special. Those were simpler times, where joy used to be a plate of malabari biryani. The real Kerala story is read in malabari biryani or motta set, often in the Gelf.
