Join Sundarii in her home for your in-home dining experience in Bangalore, with a refreshing glass of paanagam (jaggery drink) or lemon juice. She will give you a glimpse into her everyday life and also share about Tamilian food, ingredients and culinary traditions. You will be joined by her husband and daughter, when they are home. Sundarii's daughter, Nivi, is a food and travel blogger, who has the best recommendations on the places to visit in her city! Join the family at the dining table to share a traditional, home-cooked Tamilian meal using Sundarii's grandmother’s recipes. A few dishes that you might try are rice, thanjavur kadamba sambar (lentil-based vegetable stew) or kola urundai (mutton kheema balls), urulai kizhangu kara kari (potato curry) or Chettinad chicken curry and aval payasam (rice pudding) or aval kesari (sweet dish made with flattened rice). Your meal will be served the traditional way, on banana leaves and if you'd prefer you can even sit down and eat with your hands - the most authentic way a meal is relished in India!
