It’s my home kitchen in Seawoods, so I host only small groups. You’ll get the full 20-plus item experience—from the roasted coconut Sambar to the slow-cooked Payasam—served on a banana leaf, where I personally explain the significance of each dish. ### The Meditation of Cooking For me, the kitchen is not just a place to prepare food; it is an extension of my yoga practice. Just like a Vinyasa flow requires rhythm and presence, cooking requires the same focus. Whether I am making a traditional Kerala Sadya for a festival like Onam or Vishu, or simply frying Unniyappam, I treat every step as part of a larger, conscious process. ### What You Will Experience When you join one of my meals in Navi Mumbai, you are stepping into a home environment, not a commercial setup. We follow traditional eating etiquette: - **The Setting:** We use floor seating to stay grounded, keeping things simple and authentic. - **The Meal:** A full vegetarian feast served on a fresh banana leaf. We start with staples like Kerala Matta rice and move through a complex spread of Avial, Thoran, Olan, and Inji Puli. - **The Story:** I serve every guest personally, explaining the history of the dishes and why certain combinations are essential for digestion and well-being. ### Dietary & Wellness Focus My meals are always vegetarian, and I am happy to adjust for vegan or gluten-free requirements if you let me know in advance. If you are interested in the deeper connection between mind and body, I often host 'Yoga Prasadam' workshops. These sessions begin with a 90-minute Ashtanga or Hatha flow and conclude with a shared, satvik meal. It is an opportunity to nourish the body through asana and the soul through simple, honest food. ## About Anil Chandran I’m Anil Chandran, a yoga practitioner and cook who believes the kitchen is just another place for meditation. I don’t believe in catering; I believe in sharing a meal, whether it’s a full Sadya on a banana leaf or a simple, soul-warming breakfast like Masala Dosa.
