About Authentic Kerala Dining Experiences
Why I Cook
Food is my meditation. Cooking at home, just like in my Kerala childhood, keeps me grounded. I keep things simple - the same way I teach yoga - so you get a meal that’s honest, warm, and personal.
What You'll Experience
I invite you into my home for a Kerala Sadya feast. This isn’t a restaurant vibe. You’ll sit down to a meal served on a banana leaf, with each dish carrying its own story. I like small groups so everyone feels at ease, almost like you’re eating with family.
- Feel the festival spirit with dishes I grew up with
- Hear about the traditions behind every item on your banana leaf
- I cook and serve everything myself - no shortcuts
On the Menu
Sadya isn’t just one dish - it’s a spread. Expect pickles, chutneys, veggie curries, crispy pappadams, and sweet Kerala Payasam dessert. I’ll probably make Unniyappam too, a childhood favourite of mine, and maybe Ada if you’re lucky.
More Than Food
Sometimes, I run workshops that mix yoga and food. We start with a yoga class and end with a wholesome, satvik Kerala meal.
Dietary Notes
All meals are vegetarian. If you need vegan, gluten-free, or have other requests, just let me know and I’ll work with you.
Orikkal varanam! (You have to experience it once!)

My Story
Hey, I’m Anil Chandran. You’ll find me on the mat or in the kitchen, both places I call home. Born and raised in Kerala, I grew up watching my mom whip up Unniyappam and the whole Onam sadhya—now I do the same, even when it’s just me. Cooking is meditation for me, just like yoga. That’s why I started 'Yoga Prasadam'—we move, we eat, we connect. Soul and body, both happy. Come join sometime!
My Work
Yoga Classes - Online & Offline - I teach Ashtanga yoga for beginners and Hatha yoga, both online and in Santacruz, Mumbai. Personal sessions too.
Yoga Prasadam Workshop - We do Vinyasa flow together, then share an authentic Kerala Sadhya feast. It’s all about mind-body balance.
Yoga Retreats - Sometimes I host retreats in the Himalayas, mixing yoga practice with food and community.
My Teaching Approach - You don’t have to be great to start. I listen, guide, and help you find your own rhythm.
