Hand-crafted appetizers rooted in my family's Syrian Christian culinary traditions, perfect for sharing or a cozy snack.

No party is complete without a bowl of my famous beef cutlets. They are crispy, melt-in-your-mouth, and gone in two bites. I also make them with fish, mutton, chicken, prawn, and mixed vegetables.

This is Kada is Kada, or deep-fried quail marinated in dry spices. It's a delicacy in Kerala and makes for a unique and flavorful appetizer. I serve it here with a fresh green chutney.

Fried tapioca, or 'Kappa Varruthathu', is a beloved Kerala snack. These tapioca fingers are crispy, savory, and garnished with fried curry leaves. It's simple, delicious, and very addictive.

Kanji Payar, or rice congee with green gram, is the ultimate comfort food. I serve it here in a tasting bowl, topped with crispy papadum and a flavorful dry prawn chammandi. It’s a nutritious and flavorful appetizer.

Sometimes a craving for the taste of 'onakkameen' (dried fish) from my childhood hits. When I can't find it, I get creative and make a quick version with canned tuna, fried with onions and curry leaves. It’s a simple, home-style snack.

About Starters & Small Plates

No party of mine is complete without these cutlets, and they are honestly the easiest way to get a taste of my kitchen. Whether you want beef, fish, or vegetable, they are crispy, melt-in-your-mouth, and made to be finished in two bites. I prep them fresh using my own spice blends, just as I do for every home order, ensuring that same childhood flavour reaches your table.

I am Tresa, and I started this because food was my real inheritance. I don't believe in corporate kitchen hacks; I believe in spice mixes made from scratch and recipes I watched my Amma perfect. When you order a starter from me, you are getting the same flavour I grew up eating.
