kakkayirachi roast/clam roast

                                Kakkayirachi roast/ Clam roast





I'm from Alappuzha the Venice of the East ,a district of God's own country.The district has a net work of rivers,canals and back waters.So we cant avoid clam from our diet.But when I left my village,I included this too in my "nostalgic list".





My father loved clams stir fry a lot.Amma (mom)used to prepare clams with tapioca too.But my husband loves to eat clam roast only.So Yesterday I prepared clam roast.

  • Onion:1 big(sliced)
  • Coconut pieces thinly sliced:1tblspn
