Authentic South Indian food - dinner, discussion, demo


Recommended Posts

I'm hosting five magical nights - discussing, cooking and serving up authentic South Indian food.


My name is Jagan Devaraj and I come from Bangalore, South India. I've travelled widely in the region and love everything about the maddening variety of vegetables, spices and slow cooking processes that go into the authentic South Indian food experience.


I welcome you to peek into a small window, where I will try to re-create some of the dishes I learnt, first from my grandmother Jayammachi, and then from my mum. I talk about a time before plastic wrapping and electric appliances, where the supermarket came to you (usually on a cycle cart), bearing the freshest, locally sourced ingredients.


I've cooked South Indian food for several events in London, including a school fundraiser for Goose Green Primary school.



I'm determined everyone know the vitamin C value of Murungakkai (Moringa) the antiseptic qualities of curcumin (turmeric) and the subtle taste of elakki (cardamon).


Find out what made the Romans travel to India 3,000 years ago and establish one of the wealthiest trading posts on the coasts of South India.

    • That is SO naff!! I never go there but still.... It almost makes me want to turn up dressed like 'Honey G' in full on shell suit look accesorised  with a hard hat and a pair of paint spattered workboots just in order for this to 'sedate' 65year old to tell them they need to get a grip or move to Orpington when they tell me I'm not 'suitably attired' and therefore cannot enter their establishment.
    • I'm looking for a used kitchen drawer unit with 3 or 4 drawers. Can be  50mm or 60cm wide.
    • I’m guessing that “work wear ” doesn’t include suits and “sportswear” doesn’t include Dulwich Hamlet colours. Or rugby shirts.
    • Nikolay & team were fantastic from start to finish - really responsive, easy communication, explained what they would do and delivered on it, and crucially delivered high-quality work. We bought a house with very tired floorboards that had been covered up by carpet for a very (very) long time, with cracked floorboards, and big gaps between some of them - just generally dirty and grim-looking. Within 7 working days for three rooms, a corridor, and an entire staircase, the floor was sanded, some floorboards replaced, gaps filled in, and finished to a great colour and feel. We hesitated a long time between restoring the floor or just covering it up again with a new floor, but really glad we went down this route and found a great team to take care of it. It was also a very reasonable price for the amount of work done - would have been a nightmare to do ourselves without the right kit etc at the start, so glad we spent this money. I would highly recommend NN Floor Sanding based on my experience with them.
