From crispy cutlets to savory tapioca sticks, bring the warmth of Kerala's heritage to your next gathering. I make everything from scratch so your guests get a real taste of home.

In Kerala, we make cutlets out of everything, but my heart belongs to beef cutlets. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, they are a must-have appetizer for any event. I serve them with my special homemade ketchup.

No party is complete without a bowl of my famous beef cutlets. They are the perfect two-bite snack. I also make them with fish, mutton, chicken, prawn, mushroom, or mixed vegetables to suit all your guests.

For my 'Breaking Lent' course, I served a comforting congee with legume and a dry prawn chutney. Presenting dishes in individual portions like this is a great way to serve appetizers at a standing party or a multi-course meal.

These are fried tapioca sticks, a popular Kerala snack. They are crispy, savory, and perfect as a pass-around appetizer or a side dish. The fried curry leaves on top add a wonderful aroma.

About Party Starters & Small Bites

The secret to these starters is the freshness of the grind. I source my spices directly from Wayanad and hand-powder them just like my Amma taught me, so the flavors are not just bold, they are honest. Whether you want the classic beef cutlets or my crispy fried tapioca sticks, I focus on the textures that make these snacks a staple in our homes.
