Puttu Kada - Karunagappally, Kerala

My brother suggested this hotel, and this happened to be one his favourite eat-outs. As the name suggests, "Puttu" is their trademark item. We reached there at noon, and had to stick with either Meals or Biriyani. They had biriyanis of chicken, mutton, prawns or fish. Biriyani turned out to be really yummy(we rate this to be second best Biriyani we had in Kerala, the first being Kayees, Ernakulam). The rice was well cooked with abundant meat hiding inside. Meals also felt very homely, with a choice of non-veg side dishes including prawns,chicken, mutton, beef and many fish varieties to order. One thing which was really impressing was we asked for chappathis, and the bearer was honest enough to say like chappathis are made in the morning and they are cold by now. We don't come across situations like this quite often. 

My brother gave his testimonial for the mutton dishes over here, saying they are really made in some unique way. I observed the local people are ordering fish dishes, and Kollam being a major fishing hub, it was deductible that the restaurant people were able to fetch a fresh supply of fish every day. 

Authentic "Puttu Kada" is situtated opposite to Karunagapalli KSRTC bus depot. While cruising through the NH47, saw many small shops with the same name across the highway trying to fetch some customers using the name. Also this is 24x7 restaurant. While we visited renovations where happening over there, and actual elevation might be changing later.
