My pachadi mustard isn’t blitzed in a mixer; I use a mortar and pestle just like my Amma taught me, so the texture is exactly right. If you’re tired of generic catering, this is where you’ll find the difference—ingredients sourced directly from Wayanad, appam batter fermented by hand, and the patience it takes to get things perfect. For me, cooking is not just about a recipe. It is about instinct and state of mind. My kitchen runs on the lessons I learned growing up in a Syrian Christian household where food was the heart of every gathering. ### The Wayanad Connection Real flavor starts with sourcing. I don't use store-bought spice powders because they lack the depth of the ones my Amma makes. We buy whole spices like cardamom, coriander, and star anise straight from Wayanad. My Amma still takes the time to wash, sun-dry, and powder the chilli and coriander blends. When you taste our curries, you are tasting fresh, high-quality ingredients, not shelf-stable compromises. ### Why It Takes Time My appam batter is made from scratch. It is a finicky process that requires babysitting—getting that perfect, fluffy center with lacy, crisp edges is a skill I have spent years refining. I have been known to wake up at 3:30 AM to prep for a breakfast order, because that is what it takes to make 300 perfect appams. ### A Personal Approach to Catering Whether you are hosting a private dinner for three or a celebration for 200, I bring the same methodology to the table. We discuss your menu, adapt it to your preferences, and ensure that every element—from the mortar-ground masalas to the final plating—is handled with the same care as if I were cooking for my own family. ## About Travancore Tasties I’m Tresa, and I cook the food I grew up eating—Syrian Christian classics rooted in my Amma’s kitchen. My team and I handle everything from intimate family dinners to large parties, always keeping that homemade soul in every dish we serve.
