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.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
