If someone asks me, “Which is your favorite Kerala dish?” I won’t be able to give a single answer, but Kakkayirachi thoran (Cockle Meat/ Clam Stir Fry) would definitely secure a place somewhere on top of the list. Well… that explains my love for this dish. Yield: 4 Kakka Irachi Thoran | Cockle Meat Stir Fry Print Kerala style stir fired cockle meat. Ingredients • 200g cockle meat or clams ( as they are called in some parts of the world), cleaned • ½ tsp mustard seeds • 1 shallot, chopped • ¼ tsp ground turmeric • 1 tsp ground coriander • 1 tsp garam masala • ¼ tsp chilli powder (optional) • ¼ tsp freshly grated black pepper • ¼ tsp garlic paste • ¼ tsp ginger paste • 4 tbsp desiccated coconut • Curry Leaves • Salt to taste Instructions Heat oil in a pan, and splutter mustard seeds.
