Serving Flavourful Curries 🍛 & Saving Precious Lives❤️:The Legend of Mr. Hassanabba & Charmady Hotel

Since 1971, Mr. Hassanabba’s Charmady Hotel has stood as a sanctuary at the foothills of these narrow, mist-shrouded roads. While the eatery is celebrated for its rustic charm and honest food, its legacy is built on the lives Hassanabba and his associates have saved over decades, often being the first responder to accidents in the dead of night. In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, we chat with the legend himself to discuss a lifetime of service to humanity. We also explore the modest yet soul-satisfying fare that has kept travelers coming back for decades—specifically the Kalthappa. This unique, thick rice bread, slow-cooked over a wood fire, is the perfect medium to soak in the robustly flavoured fish, chicken, and veg curries that define the taste of this historic route. 🌲🛣️ What I ate: Kalthappa, Fish curry, Malabar spinach curry and disco fish fry Overall rating - 7.5 to 8/10, my top picks were the kalthappa and fish curry. I paid Rs. 400 in all.
