Ramzan orders peak at small-scale snacks production units in Thiruvananthapuram
The HinduSabeena S dips the masala ball carefully into the maida batter, coats it with vermicelli and makes a dent in the centre with a spoon. “Minced chicken, mashed potatoes, onion, spices, go into the masala,” explains Sabeena, when we meet her on a Sunday morning at Kismath Snacks, which she and her husband, MS Badarudeen, run at Poonthura. Kismath is among the many small-scale snacks production units in Thiruvananthapuram that go into overdrive during Ramzan as they prepare a plethora of short eats for iftar, the food to break the fast. Homely Tyst produces over a dozen eats that include vegetarian and chicken cutlets, chicken samosa, irachi petti, Malabar puffs, chattipathiri, unnakkaya, elanji, kaipola, kinnathapam etc. “Variety has been our focus and besides Malabar snacks, we have specials such as chutney pathal, kalmas, bread pocket, kilikkoodu etc,” he adds.
