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.

      I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.

      I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
