Extra Dabba This Week

Let us take you on a journey to the spice gardens and harbours of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, where verdant greenery meets salted sea air, chatter stems from banana-leaf-laden tables, and worries fade away after a good meal with friends.

Southern food is an ode to the joy of simple living - quality ingredients, cooked to perfection; a seasonal showcase where food is lighter, brighter and ribboned with coastal coconut and freshly harvested spices.

Our Bright & Fresh menu is vibrant and soulful; it’s bound to put a spring in your step, a smile on your face, and leave you feeling light, nourished, and, of course, well-fed.

Golden Madras Curry

In Tamilian cooking, spice is layered and balanced. Sweet against bitter. Heat against calm. Our Madras curry is the perfect example of this.

Blooming turmeric meets seasonal squash, softened slowly until it turns silky and golden. Next comes Fenugreek, added sparingly for a bittersweet depth that lingers at the back of the palate, with cracked black pepper, curry leaves and a sprinkling of Pul Biber for fragrance and a steady warmth.

Butter Bean Sundal

Tender, melt-in-the-mouth butter beans with silky coconut folded through, and a zing of fresh lemon added just before serving to keep the brightness intact. A comforting and filling dish, high in protein, gently spiced. Light, but sustaining. 

Charred Broccoli Thoran

Broccoli charred until sweet and vibrant green, then tempered with toasted nuts and seeds, crisp onion, and chilli.  

Lemon Brown Rice

Wholesome brown rice, cooked in turmeric, citrus and curry leaf until nutty and distinct.
