Chaaya Kada: Kerala Snacks & Small Bites
The comforting sizzle of a Kerala tea shop, right here in Mumbai. From crispy banana fritters to fiery meat roasts, we’re serving up the snacks we grew up eating.
It's snack o'clock at our Chaaya Kada. We offer a range of tea-time snacks from Kerala, perfect for your evening cravings. Dial in for delicious dosas, vadas, fried chicken, and more, all delivered to your doorstep.
The making of Pazham Pori, Kerala's beloved banana fritters. Ripe plantains are sliced, dipped in a sweet batter, and deep-fried until golden and crispy. It's a key part of our unorthodox Pazham Pori and Buff Roast combo.
This is the unorthodox mix of flavours that is trending in Kerala. Crispy, sweet Pazham Pori is paired with our slow-cooked, spicy buffalo meat roast. One bite of this adventurous combo and you're a step closer to heaven.
For Iftar, we bring you Pathiri, a vegan and gluten-free flatbread from the Malabar region. Made of rice flour, it's the perfect pairing for our rich and flavourful Thalassery Chicken Curry.
We create beautiful things with humble rice flour. Here, we are making Pathiri, a soft flatbread, by hand-pressing the dough and cooking it on a hot tawa. It's a staple that pairs with almost any curry.
Jackfruit is a summer superstar, and we make these delicious Suriani Jackfruit Cutlets with it. They are crispy on the outside, soft and flavourful on the inside, and a perfect seasonal snack.
About Chaaya Kada: Snacks & Small Bites
You have to try our Pazham Pori and Buff Roast combo. It sounds like an oddball pairing—sweet, crispy banana fritters dipped in spicy, slow-cooked buffalo roast—but one bite of this mix and you will get why it is our absolute cult classic.
The Soul of a Chaaya Kada
A Chaaya Kada is more than just a tea shop in Kerala. It is an institution. It is where stories are exchanged, gossip is brewed, and the most comforting snacks are fried fresh. We wanted to bring that exact Mumbai-meets-Malabar nostalgia to your doorstep.
The 'Sleeper Hit' Philosophy
While our main meals are popular, our snacks are where the real kitchen magic happens. We work with authentic, heirloom recipes that don't cut corners.
- Pazham Pori: We use only the best Nendran bananas. If the fruit isn't ripe enough, we don't fry it. The batter is kept light to ensure that satisfying crunch that gives way to a soft, sweet center.
- The Buff Roast: This isn't your standard dry roast. We slow-cook the meat until it’s tender enough to pull apart, then roast it in a blend of stone-ground spices that pack a punch. It is the perfect savory foil to the sweetness of the banana fritters.
Not Just Frying, But Crafting
We believe in the details that most ignore. Whether it is our Suriani-style Jackfruit cutlets, which we hand-shape to ensure the perfect texture, or our pathiri—a vegan, gluten-free flatbread made from rice flour that we press by hand—everything is cooked with the same intensity as our big feasts. We aren't a factory. We are a kitchen that cooks for friends.
If you're craving that perfect evening 'snack o'clock' moment, skip the usual options and dive into something that tastes like a rainy afternoon in Kerala. Just a heads up: our snacks move fast, so if you are planning a house party or a weekend binge, let us know a little in advance.
