At this 121-year-old Kerala eatery, puffs are made with porotta

At a 121-year-old eatery in Aluva, meat puffs are made with porotta dough and cooked on a hot griddle, giving them their distinctive flaky layers. The Grand Hotel, established in 1905, is also known for its chicken, beef and mutton biryanis, with the mutton biryani often selling out early. Founded by Shekutty Kochu, the hotel has passed through four generations of the family. From its porotta puffs to biryani cooked over firewood, discover the food and history behind this long-running Aluva institution.
