Creative Small Plates & Indian Bites
I take the familiar, twist it my way, and pack it with crunch, melt, and mood. These are the small plates that define the Comorin experience.
My Lemon Gunpowder Idli is a bestseller for a reason. Soft mini idlis are tossed in a zesty, spicy gunpowder masala, served with three different chutneys for a burst of flavour in every bite.

About this collection
When you order one of my small plates, you aren't just getting a snack; you are getting a reimagined classic. Take the Gunpowder Idli, for instance. I don't just toss them in masala; I balance the spice with three distinct chutneys, ensuring every bite has a different texture and depth. It is exactly how I approach the rest of the menu, so you can mix and match to find your new favourite combination.
My philosophy for small plates is simple. They should punch above their weight. Whether you are settling in for a long evening or grabbing a quick bite, these plates are designed to be the stars of the show.
I love taking traditional street food and giving it a Comorin-style remix. You will find the Fried Chicken Bun on the menu, which pairs the comfort of a soft bun with the kick of Calcutta mustard and a hint of pickle drama. Or consider the Dal Pakwan; I use a crispy pakwan base topped with hearty dal and a fresh crunch of jalapeño and kachumber. It captures the essence of the original but feels completely new.
Why stick to one big meal when you can explore the breadth of regional Indian flavours? My kitchen works with seasonal ingredients, so you might find subtle changes in the spice blends or the way I present the chaats. If you are here for the first time, I recommend starting with the Lemon Gunpowder Idli and seeing where your appetite takes you. It is the perfect way to get a feel for how I balance heat, acidity, and texture. These aren't just starters; they are small stories on a plate.
