Hyatt Regency, Teynampet

At Foccacia, home chef Ammu Rebecca (of Rebecca’s Kitchen) presents an Onam sadya with both non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes. Hailing from Kollam, Ammu specialises in Central Travancore or North Kerala non-vegetarian cuisine, and meen pollichathu, chicken ullarthiyathu and prawn kizhi are on the menu. Travancore-style is milder on spices compared to other regions in Kerala, but uses coconut generously, says Rebecca. Seafood is prominent in this region and therefore her Chemmeen Kizhi (Prawn masala wrapped in banana leaf and then steamed or tawa fried) will be a signature dish from the region.
