Kerala Syrian Christian Menus That Tell a Story
I bring the soulful, nostalgic flavours of Kerala Syrian Christian cooking to your restaurant. From cherished family recipes to modern café-style plates, I help you build menus that connect with your customers.
Food for me is all about stories and my childhood home. In this video, I share a little about my roots, learning from my Amma, and how I blend traditional Syrian Christian cooking with my own style. This is the heart I bring to every menu I help create.
I have so many memories of my grandmother's house, where my mothers and aunts would cook these huge feasts for all 19 cousins. I started Travancore Tasties to share those exact flavours and feelings with you, bringing generations of Mallu Syrian Christian recipes to your table.
This is my Beef Ullarthu served on mini parottas. It’s a dish that is pure emotion for any Malayalee, made with slow-roasted beef, aromatic masala, coconut chips, and curry leaves. I love taking a classic family recipe and giving it a modern, bite-sized twist that works perfectly for a restaurant or event menu.
About My Story, Your Menu
It is not just about replicating recipes; it is about the mechanics of the kitchen. I work with your team to master the sensory cues—like the lacy edge on a perfect Appam or the precise roast on Beef Ullarthu—that make these dishes feel homemade even at a commercial scale.
Beyond the Recipe Card
When I develop a menu, I am not just handing over a list of ingredients. I am transferring years of muscle memory and family tradition into your kitchen workflow. Whether you run a bustling cafe or a quiet fine-dining space, the goal is to make these heritage dishes feel natural on your plate.
How I Help You Build It
- Kitchen Mechanics: We focus on the things a written recipe misses. For Appams, that means training your staff on the precise fermentation temperature and the swirl technique needed for that signature lacy edge. For Beef Ullarthu, it is about recognizing the exact moment of 'roast' when the masala, coconut chips, and meat harmonize.
- Sourcing Authenticity: You cannot get the real flavour without the right ingredients. I provide direct introductions to my proprietary spice vendors in Wayanad, ensuring your kitchen has access to the same sun-dried chillies and spice blends I use at home.
- Commercial Scaling: We take family-sized memories and scale them for service. I help you set up SOPs for prep, ensuring that your team maintains consistency whether they are serving 10 plates or 100.
- The Modern Twist: Authenticity doesn't mean standing still. We can integrate comfort continental items like Shepherd's Pie with a desi touch, balancing your menu to ensure both high-margin appetizers and hearty traditional mains.
I prefer to be on the floor with your team, tasting, adjusting, and troubleshooting until the food feels right. If you are looking to bring a bit of home-cooked soul to your menu, let’s talk about how to make that happen.
