Signature Dishes & Seasonal Stars
From Kerala’s tender jackfruit harvests to our signature Sadya on a Thali, these are the recipes that define our kitchen’s soul and nostalgia.
This is not just a pretty face. My tender jackfruit biryani is a true star. I cook the jackfruit until it's soft enough to soak up all the masala, yet firm enough to hold its texture. A true vegetarian delight.
My Vazhakoombu, or Banana Blossom Thoran, is an unconventional delight. Made from the tender banana heart and cooked with green mung lentils, it has a unique texture and flavour that elevates any meal.
A closer look at the Banana Blossom Thoran. You can see the texture of the finely chopped blossom and lentils, a dish that is both satisfying and a true taste of local Kerala ingredients.
Enjoy the mangoes while they last! My Mambazha Pulisseri, a ripe mango curry, is a seasonal favourite. Its sweet and tangy flavour is the perfect celebration of summer.
A wholesome spread of some of my classic vegetarian dishes. Here we have a comforting Avial, a sweet and tangy Pineapple Pachadi, a light Olan, and a creamy Payasam. A complete meal in itself.
A close-up of my Kootu Curry, a thick, flavourful dish made with yam and black chickpeas. It's a prominent and beloved part of any traditional Sadya.
A moment of reverence for the food. Here, I am enjoying a traditional Sadya, with the Kootu Curry and other dishes laid out on the banana leaf, a ritual that connects me to my roots.
The journey of our Jackfruit Thoran begins here. A hand carefully slices the raw jackfruit, the first step in transforming this humble vegetable into a seasonal delicacy for our Vishu Sadya.
Shredded raw jackfruit, ready to be cooked. This is the base of our thoran, prepared to absorb the fragrant spices and coconut that will make it a star dish.
A whole raw jackfruit, the source of our seasonal Vishu special. Its spiky exterior hides the tender, flavourful flesh that is a staple in Kerala cuisine.
About Signature Dishes & Seasonal Stars
Our seasonal specials are fleeting—when the mangoes or jackfruit season ends, those dishes disappear from our kitchen. Because we cook in small batches rather than mass-producing, pre-ordering is the only way to guarantee you catch these flavours while they last.
Seasonal Roots
Food has a rhythm, and in our kitchen, we follow the season. You won't find us forcing mangoes in winter or jackfruit when the tree is resting. We source what’s fresh and at its peak, whether it's the tender banana heart for our Vazhakoombu Thoran or ripe mangoes for Mambazha Pulisseri. These dishes are fleeting—they are here for a few weeks, capture the essence of a season, and then move on.
The Art of the 'Small Batch'
We aren't a factory. We are a kitchen that believes in the 'jigar ka khoon' (passion) required to make a dish sing. When you order our Jackfruit Thoran or a special Sadya, we are hand-shredding the fruit and tempering the spices the morning of your delivery. This is why we operate on a pre-order model. It ensures the textures—like the perfect soak of the masalas in our jackfruit biryani—are spot on when they reach your table in Mumbai.
Our Signature Concepts
- SONATA (Sadya On A Thali): We stripped away the fuss of a massive feast and packed the soul of a Sadya into a thali. It’s our way of bringing the festival feeling to your weekend lunch, minus the cleanup.
- Pothichoru: The ultimate comfort meal. Steamed inside a wilted banana leaf, it isn't just lunch—it’s an aromatic experience where the leaf infuses the matta rice and curries with that unmistakable earthy scent.
We love the bold, fiery flavours of Kerala, but we also love the subtle, comforting ones. From our fiery buff roasts to the mellow sweetness of our Palada payasam, every dish has a story. Tell us what you’re craving, and let’s get it to your table.
