About Collaborations & Pop-Up Events
When I collaborate with venues like Social or Hyatt, I do not just hand over a recipe and walk away. I spend time training their kitchen teams on how to handle specific cuts of Bannur Lamb and how to balance the spice levels, ensuring the food tastes exactly like it does at my family table in Cubbonpete.
My collaborations are not just about serving food; they are about teaching. Bringing ‘nimmade ooru oota’ (your own town’s meal) into a busy commercial kitchen is a challenge. It requires sourcing the right local spices, finding the right meat, and ensuring the cooking process—often involving slow-cooking in pure fat—is respected. Whether it is a Chef’s Table for 15 guests or a limited-run menu at a popular Bengaluru outpost, the focus remains on the ingredients.
What to Expect
- Nose-to-Tail Eating: Some of my menus feature organ meats, neck, and other underused cuts. I believe in respecting the animal by using every part. If you see this on the menu, know that it is not for the faint-hearted.
- Direct Interaction: At my Chef’s Tables, I am not just cooking. I am there to tell stories about Cubbonpete, the history of my family’s 150-year-old recipes, and why Bannur Lamb is the only meat I will use for certain dishes.
- Zero Frills: Expect honest, bold flavours. You might find a simple mutton palav or a fiery pepper roast, but every dish is crafted to represent the confluence of Andhra, Tamil, and Karnataka influences that define Old Bangalore Naati cuisine.
Keep an eye on this space for updates on upcoming pop-ups. If you are a venue looking to host an authentic Naati experience, reach out to me directly.
