Kochi, a cultural melting pot on the coast of Kerala, is a haven for food lovers seeking authentic flavors. The city’s street food scene reflects a vibrant culinary heritage, offering everything from crispy snacks to hearty meals steeped in local spices and traditions.
A must-try treat is Pazhampori (banana fritters), made from ripe bananas deep-fried to golden perfection, available from vendors around Fort Kochi and MG Road. Another favorite is the classic Parotta and Beef Curry combo, a Kerala specialty served at small eateries in Mattancherry. Kappa and Meen Curry (tapioca and fish curry) is a beloved pairing that brings a unique taste of local seafood, especially popular around Willingdon Island.
Street food joints in Jew Town and Fort Kochi serve varieties of Dosa, including ghee roast, masala, and neer dosa. For breakfast, the traditional Puttu and Kadala Curry (steamed rice flour with black chickpea curry) is readily found in Kochi’s marketplaces. Thattu Dosa – a smaller, spiced version of dosa – is another delightful street snack to savor on the go. And for a full experience, the Kerala Sadhya on a banana leaf is a traditional feast offering a taste of local vegetarian dishes.
Kochi’s street food is a culinary journey that highlights Kerala’s diversity and vibrant flavors. Whether it's the spicy beef curry, comforting tapioca and fish curry, or the sweet taste of banana fritters, Kochi offers unforgettable flavors that make it a paradise for food lovers.
