I grew up on Kerala Syrian Christian cooking, learning from my Amma and adding my own twist over time. Beef Ullarthu isn’t just a dish, it’s an emotion for us Malayalees. That’s the kind of feeling I want your restaurant to serve. ### What I Offer I help restaurants build not just menus, but experiences. Whether you want Kerala classics, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu staples, or some nostalgic continental dishes, I’ll work with you to create recipes that actually work in a busy kitchen. - Kerala restaurant menu development with family recipes and local twists - Authentic recipe adaptation for a modern crowd (Shepherd’s Pie with a desi touch? Sorted.) - South Indian kitchen staff training so your team nails every detail from Appam’s lacy edge to the right spice hit ### How I Work I’m all about starting from scratch - spice mixes from Wayanad, homemade batters, sauces, and marinades. I teach cooks to trust their instincts, not just the recipe. We’ll talk about your dreams for the restaurant, build a menu concept, taste-test, and then I’ll train your team personally, step by step. ### Real, Rooted, Relatable I believe in tradition, but I also like to play around. Think Beef Ullarthu on mini parottas - respect the roots, but keep it fun. ## Highlights Browse through Travancore Tasties's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/travancoretasties/restaurant-consulting/featured) - ![This is my Beef Ullarthu served on mini parottas.

Amma would pack me perfect appams and I never even knew how lucky I was. Food was always the heart of our family—think holidays with cousins, the kitchen full of laughter and smells I can still taste. Jewellery? Sarees? Nah, food is my real inheritance. Started Travancore Tasties in 2015, thanks to my folks pushing me. Now I get to share my childhood—nostalgia on a plate, straight to your home. ### My work - **Dining Experiences & Catering**: Private parties (3-200 people), Kerala Sadhya catering, home deliveries, and menu setup for restaurants. - **Mallu Syrian Christian Food**: Serving Beef Ullarthu home delivery, Amma’s Chicken Roast, Fish Moilee, and cutlets—food with soul, handed down generations. - **Festive & Continental Touch**: Christmas menus with Shepherd’s Pie, bread pudding, plus all our traditional Kerala dishes. - **Homemade, Old-School Style**: Fresh appam batter, homemade spice blends, sun-dried chillies—everything made the way my Amma taught me. ## More services from Travancore Tasties - [Catering & Private Dining](https://mytribe.in/travancoretasties/catering-private-dining) · ₹700-1,800 per person (estimate) - [Food Delivery & Takeaway](https://mytribe.in/travancoretasties/food-delivery-takeaway) · ₹250-1,000 per person (estimate) - [Dine-in Restaurant](https://mytribe.in/travancoretasties/dine-in-restaurant) · ₹350-700 per main course dish (estimate) ## Experts similar to Travancore Tasties on mytribe - [Restaurant & Hospitality Visuals by Sanjana S](https://mytribe.in/themessytoast/restaurant-hospitality-visuals) · ₹12-35K per shoot (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Holiday & Special Occasion Catering by Rochelle's Gourmet](https://mytribe.in/rochelles.gourmet/holiday-special-occasion-catering) · ₹350-1,800 per person (estimate) · Cooke Town - [Healthy Cooking Workshops by Kirti Yadav](https://mytribe.in/plantbasednutritionistkirti/healthy-cooking-workshops) · ₹149-1,200 per workshop per participant (estimate) - [Regional Indian Meals (Pre-Order) by Taste of Temptations](https://mytribe.in/taste_of_temptations01/regional-indian-meals-pre-order) · ₹200-600 per meal (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Vegetarian Event Catering by Udupas Hospitality](https://mytribe.in/udupashospitality/vegetarian-event-catering) · ₹600-1,800 per plate (estimate) · Udupas Hospitality - [Event Catering by Bangalore Caterers](https://mytribe.in/bangalore_event_management/event-catering) · ₹600-1,500 per plate (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Plant-Based Food & Dining Services by JustBe](https://mytribe.in/nidhisoganinahata/plant-based-food-dining-services) · ₹250-800 per person (estimate) · Justbe Holistic Studio - [Themed Catering & Live Food Stations by Bosco Catering](https://mytribe.in/boscocatering_events/themed-catering-live-food-stations) · ₹900-2,200 per plate (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Traditional Dining Experiences by Swaad Caterers](https://mytribe.in/swaad_caterers/traditional-dining-experiences) · ₹600-1,500 per plate (estimate) · SWAAD Caterers - [Personalized Clinical Nutrition Coaching by Gauravi Vinay](https://mytribe.in/gauravi_vinay/personalized-clinical-nutrition-coaching) · ₹3,000-8,000 per month (estimate) · India - [Child & Family Nutrition Consulting by Sushmitha BR Gowrav](https://mytribe.in/dt_sushmitha_br_gowrav/child-family-nutrition-consulting) · ₹800-2,500 per session (estimate) · Bengaluru ## Book To book Travancore Tasties, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Restaurant%20Consulting%20by%20Travancore%20Tasties.)
