Our Star Chef If there was no lobby chef Natarajan would be one of the greatest India has ever seen.

I have high regards for chef oberoi, chef saraswat , chef satish arora and all. But the passion and dedication i experienced in chef Nat is unmatchable.

Taj could have given much more to chef Nat. He is the one chef single handedly given Taj hotels its prominence in south India.

Chef Natarajan personally heads and introduced Low glycemic food concept in Taj hotels mainly in south. even in london when i worked with sofitel they introduced only around 2014. Chef Natarajan did in 10 years before.

" even by physique he is a small man but his presence make's a man of 6 foot tall chef nervous"

Chef Natarajan Kulandai Chef 'Nat' How chefs and people know him calls.

For me he is a Legend in terms of any culinary measurement of international standards.

Its my greatest Privilege to write about him in our first issue .

I am very grateful for a life he has open the doors. i believe its because of his presence in the interview panel who took me as a Management trainee for Taj group of Hotels In chefs batch.

the north Indian lobby prevails high in Taj group . it still does.

such was his Aura and confidence .

"Unconfirmed story about chefs dedication i heard. while he was Executive head chef of Taj coromandel and Queen Elizabeth II was in house. a tragic death of a close family person happened to chef. he not only postpond the funeral and stayed back to ensure his responsibilities are done to fullest"

The answer still gives me the fire . " To Make Indian cuisine best in world, present picture perfect Indian food which is already tastier "

Kalaripayattu is one of the oldest form of martial art, which originated as a style in Kerala, southern India .

The word kalari first appears in the Tamil Sangam literature to describe both a battlefield and combat arena.

Kerala Cuisine Kerala food is moderately spicy in nature, but most flavorful, and its recipes promote locally grown ingredients for cooking. Kerala is the home of kera known as the coconut tree.

Coconut is the base for many dishes and is used in almost every dish in Kerala. Coconut oil is used for cooking. The oil is extracted from the dried coconut or “kopra.” Grated coconut and coconut milk are widely used in dishes for thickening and flavoring.

Rice and tapioca (cassava) are the most common foods of Kerala. Varieties of main dishes are made with these two. Seafood is also one of the very famous foods. Fish, crab, shellfish, lobster, and prawn are used for everyday cooking. Sardines and mackerel are the most commonly used varieties of fish. The different meat varieties used in Kerala kitchens include poultry, red meats, and a few game birds (now restricted by law).

Kerala breakfast shows a rich variety. Most of the breakfast dishes are made from rice flour. Some of the breakfast dishes are appam, idiyappam, idli, dosa, and puttu. Along with this, some of the side dishes are made with coconut.

For lunch and dinner, the main dish is boiled rice.

Along with this, there will be one or more curries and side dishes. There are several varieties of vegetarian and non-vegetarian curries and side dishes

TURMERIC TURMERIC IS ONE OF THE MAIN SPICE IN KERALA CUISINE AND HAS AMAZING MEDICINAL VALUE.

Turmeric root has a very interesting taste and aroma. Its flavor is peppery, warm, and bitter while its fragrance is mild yet slightly reminiscent of orange and ginger.he dried powdered spice that many people use in recipes comes from the root (rhizome) portion of the plant Curcuma longa. The unprocessed form of this root bears a strong

Turmeric has great antiseptic values.

I remember an incident at my college days where one of our chef Instructor accidentally slit his finger while cutting onions. He started shouting for turmeric . we thought it was for cooking later found out he applied to the wound and it stopped blood loss.

family. You'll sometimes hear turmeric being referred to as Indian saffron since its deep yelloworange color is similar to that of saffron. You'll also sometimes hear it being referred to as curcuma, after it's best-studied polyphenolic component, namely, curcumin. Turmeric has been used throughout history as a culinary spice, herbal medicine, and fabric dye.

At home in india when there is disturbance from ants my grand mother used to sprinkle turmeric. i personally witnessed ants used to avoid or change their path when they came near to Tumeric.

Despite its use in cooking for several thousand years, turmeric continues to surprise researchers in terms of its wide-ranging health benefits. While once focused on anti-inflammatory benefits, decreased cancer risk, and support of

About 800,000 tons of turmeric are produced each year, with over 75% of this total amount coming from India, which is also the world's largest consumer and exporter of turmeric; in terms of exports, over 50% of all global exports come from India.

Nutritional Value Turmeric is an excellent source of both iron and manganese. It is also a good source of vitamin B6, dietary fiber, copper, and potassium.

Phytonutrients in turmeric include curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, tumerones, and tumenorols.

detoxification, studies on turmeric intake now include its potential for improving cognitive function, blood sugar balance, and kidney function, as well as lessening the degree of severity associated with certain forms of arthritis and certain digestive disorders.

Use of turmeric in recipes can help retain the betacarotene in certain foods. For example, one study has shown that the beta-carotene in carrots and pumpkins is better retained when those vegetables are cooked using recipes that include turmeric.

we have been bestowed with an opportunity in redesigning a modern Indian restaurant menu. Dishes planned around local produces sourced around London.

Intense research has done when planning and compiling menu for the restaurant. the concept brief given at the initial stage is for small Indian sharing plates.

London restaurants are trying this small plate concept based on Spanish tapas style food. where guest has wide variety of choices with a low price tag. The portion is small mainly two bites , chefs can keep the price down due to small portion.In an ideal situation one person can three small plates and two sides .All will be equivalent to the price you pay for two course menu in similar London restaurant. Guest will feel highly satisfied as he gets an average of five dishes to taste where in normal scenario it will be two dishes.

In kerala there are different beef preparation where meat is taken from Buffalo , in trivandrum its called beef dry fry. In Kerala its eaten with porotta its different than usual north Indian breads .

Berry Malai An adaptation of berries and cream . Malai is Hindi word for cream or reduced milk . Not sure why it's called malai when the description says its baked yoghuty it should be  'Dahi'. The dish is light and well-balanced sweetness. Dark berries are fine in winter but strawberries not great pick for winter menu.

"A LIGHT DESSERT WITH NO WOW FACTOR"

Bebinca Its good to see Indian restaurants focusing on Indian desserts than making con-fuision cuisine desserts like chocolate samosa, cheese cakes and so on. In India we have a great collection of desserts by chefs talent it can be bought fine dining scenes.

BEBINCA is a classic goan sweet which has 7 layers. made with flour , egg yolk , sugar and Nutmeg . each layer is baked or ideally gratinated one by one on Top. Here the desert is nice bit on sweeter side than normal but very light than traditionally firm versions.
