Arikkadukka is a popular snack of the Malabar region in Kerala. It is deep fried stuffed Mussels. I have been craving for this snack for a long time. While I was looking to order fish online, I found that Mussels were available. Without missing a moment, I placed an order. Next was to make sure I had all in the ingredients in stock. Thankfully I did. As I had already done a research on cleaning mussels, I didn’t have to struggle much.
While I was busy in the kitchen, my parents, who are visiting us, came and enquired what I was preparing. On mentioning the name, they were also curious as they too had never tasted Ari kadukka. I wasn’t very hopeful about D liking it. But to my surprise, he ended up having 2-3 of them and giving a thumbs up. Even J and my parents loved it.
