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!) ## Highlights Browse through Anil Chandran's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/yogabyanil/authentic-kerala-dining-experiences/featured) - ![A full Kerala Sadya served on a fresh banana leaf.

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. ## More services from Anil Chandran - [Yoga & Culinary Experiences](https://mytribe.in/yogabyanil/yoga-culinary-experiences) · ₹1,499-2,500 per person (estimate) - [Yoga Instruction](https://mytribe.in/yogabyanil/yoga-instruction) · ₹300-700 per group class (offline, 1 hour) (estimate) ## Experts similar to Anil Chandran on mytribe - [Festive Sadya Home Delivery by NairOnFire](https://mytribe.in/naironfireindia/festive-sadya-home-delivery) · ₹1,100-2,200 per Sadya (box/meal) (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Festive Food Hampers by The Marathi Pangat](https://mytribe.in/themarathipangat/festive-food-hampers) · ₹800-1,000 per person (estimate) · The Marathi Pangat - Authentic Marathi Food - [Mehndi for Special Occasions by Anil Mehndi Artist](https://mytribe.in/anilmehndiartist/mehndi-for-special-occasions) · ₹200-1,000 per pair of hands (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Private Pizza Catering by Akasha Pizza Heaven](https://mytribe.in/akashapizzaheaven/private-pizza-catering) · ₹700-1,500 per pizza (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Specialized Dietary & Religious Catering by Chander Catering Services](https://mytribe.in/chander_catering_services/specialized-dietary-religious-catering) · ₹250-900 per person (estimate) · Chander Catering Services - [Bulk Catering & Meal Boxes by Mini's Kitchen](https://mytribe.in/miniskitchenco/bulk-catering-meal-boxes) · ₹100-700 per meal box (estimate) · Gourmet House by Mini's Kitchen - [Baking Workshops & DIY Parties by Flour Power By Ayesha Mehta](https://mytribe.in/flourpowerbyam/baking-workshops-diy-parties) · ₹700-1,500 per participant (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Full-Service Event Catering by Speciality Experiences](https://mytribe.in/specialityexperiences/full-service-event-catering) · ₹1,800-6,000 per person (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Event Host & Emcee by Kishor Kalakar](https://mytribe.in/kishor_kalakar/event-host-emcee) · ₹3-10K per event (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Gourmet Food Delivery & Gifting by Gourmetly Yours](https://mytribe.in/gourmetlyyours/gourmet-food-delivery-gifting) · ₹1,000-6,000 per box/hamper/meal box (estimate) · Mumbai Metropolitan Area - [Full-Service Event Catering by Chandan Caterers](https://mytribe.in/chandan_caterers/full-service-event-catering) · ₹1,200-2,500 per person (estimate) · Chandan Lawns - [Baking Workshops by Fervour by Grace](https://mytribe.in/fervourcake/baking-workshops) · ₹800-2,000 per participant (estimate) · Fervour Cake Studio ## Book To book Anil Chandran, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Authentic%20Kerala%20Dining%20Experiences%20by%20Anil%20Chandran.)
