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.

    • When I managed a large staff group, and workers were needed for Christmas day, there was always a queue of people wanting a shift, for many reasons.  Where is the problem-why is it shameful?
    • 🎄Are you flying solo for Xmas?   🎄Let’s be honest-it can be weird. But maybe it’s also a chance to just …chill.   🎄How are you planning to treat yourself and make the day feel good?   🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅All ideas welcome.    ✌️Drop yours below. 🎄🎄🎄
    • Until the licencing laws changed in the late eighties, pubs were only allowed to open Sunday hours on Christmas Day, so 12 'til 2, and the majority didn't open in the evening unless it was for a 'private party'. But that's another story. The landlord of my old local used to let everyone double or treble up at last orders so that you could avoid having to watch the Queen's Speech with your Nans at three o'clock. Dulwich Tandoori is open Christmas Day for those who don't fancy Gail's.  'Festive Flavours', apparently.
    • My nominations are the Goblin Band at the Goose, and the Errol Linton Trio  at the Dulwich Folk Club.  I'm not sure what other venues we have in the immediate area.  I rarely do the big (1000 plus) places any more.  Your nominations? And a special mention to Truthpaste, at least one member is local and their video was recorded around here.  But I caught them in North London.  And please see the link to the BBCs recording of the Copper Family at the Castle a few weeks ago~: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002ng53
