ഞണ്ടു കിഴി, വലയിൽ കഴിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടോ? | Kochi Cheenavala experience at night + Brazilian vloggers

this is the first experience with Chinese fishing nets for you? Yes. Oh great. Did you get the flavor of banana leaf. I think you should take this one. It will have the flavor of the banana leaf. Right? The flavor of withered banana leaves is evident in this. It is really good and tastes super. Hello, the taste of fish from Chinese fishing nets are really good. I am not talking about Chinese fishing net (cheenavala) restaurants or cafés. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants with the same na

me. I am talking about the original Chinese fishing nets. We had already done a video on Chinese fishing nets with Biju Chettan with whom we had amazing food. This time we are again visiting Biju Chettan and his brother Raju Chettan. I will be going with Raju chettan on his boat. Gue and Rafa were with us just a moment ago. Both of them got in a boat just now. We have with us Shinto and Arjun. Arjun actually introduced us to Biju Chettan. I am also going to get into a boat this time. Come on, le

t us go. The sun is almost setting down. There are plenty of Chinese fishing nets here and around. You can find these nets wherever you look around here. The sun is setting down. I got into a boat. Raju Chetta, shall we go? Yes. If I jump into the boat, I might land on the water. So I decided to slowly get into the boat. Okay and I can sit in the middle, right? Yes. I sat down and we can slowly go there. Is it difficult for you to row when there is wind? It is not so difficult. If there is heavy

wind, the boat might sway a bit due to ripples in the water. Apart from that there is no problem. So, we are slowly going in the boat. Last time when we were here, they used a motor from bike to lift these Chinese fishing nets. This time do you have bike motors to lift them? Yes. We have bike motors. Another bike motor. They changed the bikes. You can either lift these fishing nets using bike motors or manually if you can. It is very difficult to lift these nets manually. It is very difficult.

It will take at least 2-3 people to lift the nets. A minimum of 2 people. We can go slowly enjoying a gentle breeze. Summer is almost here. But if you are coming in the evening to this side of Moolambilly, there will be a gentle breeze. The areas around here are beautiful. There are many beautiful areas around here. We rowed a bit now. The sight is really breathtaking. I am talking the positive sides. The view is beautiful and this is a different experience. For those looking for negatives, you

can find plenty of negatives. It is upon you. You can choose what you want to see. It doesn’t matter. The positive side includes a really beautiful view. The ariel view has got green portions in between the water bodies. You can also see a network of backwaters scattered here which is a sight for the eyes. What are these? These all are prawns habitats. These shed like structures are for the people who stay to watch and protect these habitats. These are prawns habitats and they have built sheds f

or people staying here. We might not be getting the visuals of prawns rearing this time. We can come again another time to cover those visuals. Prawns rearing is usually done at night. But sometimes we can get prawns in these Chinese fishing nets. You can get them in the nets. Let us see for ourselves from the nets. Let us go and check if there is anything there. We got some crabs. You set the traps before, right? Yes. And got 6-7 crabs. We have crabs, prawns, fishes and karimeen as well. They h

ave separate nets, right? We get all of them in a single net. We can catch all these using the Chinese fishing nets. Let us go and check there. They have already started to take videos. We can see Gue and Rafa talking there from here. Somehow we managed to climb onto the platform of a Chinese fishing net. This is Biju chettan. Say a hello to our viewers. We have Biju chettan and his brother Raju chettan who went inside. His daughter also accompanied us. Everybody is here. Raju chettan took us he

re. What’s your name? Anagha. Come here. Shinto is my friend. A really close friend. He was with me during my hostel days. He also made his appearance in 3-4 of our videos. He did start a small business of his own. We will do a detailed video on it with Shinto later. Shinto introduced us to Arjun. And Arjun introduced us to Biju Chettan and Raju Chettan. Gue, how are you? Good. How about you? How are you doing? Great. How was the experience altogether? The experience was great. It is my first ti

me here. this is the first experience with Chinese fishing nets for you? Yes. Oh great. How about you? I am so happy to be here. Was it okay for you to come by boat? Yeah. A bit scary? She was a bit scared on the boat because of the small ripples in the water. But he is fine. Gue is fine. Perfectly comfortable and he is really enjoying. Okay that’s good. Thank you for bringing us here. Great. So, we are going to have some fish. We will get anchovies or shrimps. They are going to cook for us. At

the same time, they got some crabs. They bought some and got some from the nets here. They bought some because they want to make sure that we try some crabs. And they got some crabs anyway from the nets as well. So, anyway let us go and see the cooking and catching. I meant catching and cooking. And again we can eat them as well. They will have crab curry? It will maybe a curry. What are we preparing with the crab? Crab kizhi. Is it steamed? Crab kizhi means something like a crab bag. We are goi

ng to have a bag with banana leaves. With banana leaves? Yes. We are going to steam it with some gravy and curry with tomatoes, onions and some spices. I’m hungry. Let’s go then. Now we are going to lift it. Rafa are you ready to pull it? Yes. I am ready. Lets do it. This is really heavy. This is not a competition. The stones are coming up, so we have to be careful. Mind your head as the weights are coming up. What is this? Is this cement? This is concrete piece. You have to lock it somewhere. W

e pulled the net up. We have to check the fish now. You can join him to check the fish if you are interested. Last time we were here, we mostly got anchovies. This time we got more shrimps. Small shrimps. We also got a large tiger prawn. Tiger prawn is here. Oh god. It is still alive. Here it is. It is still alive. It might bang you with its tail. This is a tiger prawn. What do we call it here? Kara. Kara prawn. I am not sure if it is kara prawn or tiger prawn. If you know, juts mention it in th

e comment section below. Anyway, this is the item. On appearance, I felt it looks like tiger prawn. You can tell us in the comments. They are cleaning the fish that is to be prepared for cassava. This is not a single kind of fish. There are varieties of fishes here. Many fish varieties including prawns, trevally (vatta), bluespot mullet (kanambu) and this is false white sardine (nandan). All these fishes are here. A mixed fish curry will be prepared today. We will also prepare crab kizhi. Cassav

a is getting ready on the other side. Raju chettan is doing something over there. We can see what he is doing soon. Our cassava is ready so is our fish curry. They have added all kind of fish in it. They also added the tiger prawn to the fish curry. The cassava is different from the type that we tried last time. This is prepared in a different way with popped mustard seeds. This is our fish curry and on this side we have our crab kizhi. Here it is. It is very hot. This is our crab kizhi. Everyth

ing is ready. Now we can have it one by one. Chetta, shall we have it? Yes. Let us have it. Come on. I shall serve some first. Okay. Cassava, fish curry and crab kizhi is ready. We decided to start with crab kizhi. We took a piece from the crab. Gue took a crab leg to try. It means leg. We took the centre portion of the crab. So, shall we start Shinto? Yes. Let us start. Shall we start? Yeah. I am pushing the meat a bit to taste. First of all, I really have to mention the taste of the banana lea

f. This is good. Really good in taste. Did you get the flavor of banana leaf. I think you should take this one. It will have the flavor of the banana leaf. Right? The flavor of withered banana leaves is evident in this. It is really good and tastes super. Chetta, this is super. Raju Chettan is a chef. He used to work in a restaurant. Now he has a roadside shop. I have never tried from his shop. You should come there one day. I will definitely come there one day. I just got to know it now, else I

would have come there earlier. Arjun doesn’t tell me such stuffs. Where is your shop? Near Arjun’s house. It is near to his house. We can stay there a day and enjoy the food. We have many variety items. We can try it. Shinto, how is it? Its super. The preparation is a bit spicy and it tastes good. I am not asking Arjun as this is not his first time here. He is a regular visitor here. Right, Arjun? Yes. I am not talking much, I will just enjoy the food. This is the first time I am trying such a

preparation of crab. Usually in restaurants, we get crab which is made into pieces which is easier to have. This is fresh as well which is reflected in its taste. Next, we can try their cassava and fish curry. I will take this. Have some. I got a piece of false white sardine (nandan). Taking a handful of the fish meat along with some cassava soaked in fish curry to taste. Have some. Did you get a piece of the fish? Yes. This is great. If you ask me about cassava and crab, without much confusion

I will go with the crab. I really liked the preparation of crab. Gue, which one did you like the most? Crab or cassava. Crab. Its my favorite. But I love both. But here you prefer crab over cassava. The crab is spicy and I love the curry. He also loved the crab. I agree to the same. Arjun, what about you? I loved the crab. He already said that. So, crab kizhi is the number one item here. So, we came here and prepared cassava with fish curry and crab kizhi along with it and enjoyed the food at ni

ght. We are having the food on the side of these nets from which people are catching the fish now. You will catch fish till morning, right? Yes. Biju chettan and the rest of his team will be here catching fishes from the nets till 6.30 in the morning. We will be going back after having food. They have their flight in the morning. You are flying to Goa, right? Yes. Goa. They are going to Goa. You can watch their videos at their channel. I will share the details in the description box below. Just

go have a look at it. All the best. We got hot teas. Since this is a Chinese fishing net, there is only two glasses here. We decided to have them. Super. Hot lime tea. He prepared it for us. Anyway, they will upload their video soon. They did two video with me. Apart from that they went on a houseboat and also explored Kerala. They have got many experiences of their own. They have got nice videos that you can watch. They are doing their videos in Portuguese language. We are also planning to visi
