Anachi’s Kitchen in Injambakkam has always been known for celebrating food that feels like home while surprising you with new flavours. This October, the restaurant took things up a notch with its Kerala Food Fest – Traditional Flavours, an event that was recently featured in The New Indian Express.

The coverage in one of India’s most respected newspapers is a proud recognition of the effort to bring Kerala’s rich culinary heritage to the spotlight — with dishes that balance authenticity and innovation.

A Kerala Sadhya, Reimagined

A Kerala sadhya is usually thought of as a sprawling vegetarian feast served on a banana leaf, with a symphony of curries, pickles, papadams, and more. At the food fest, Anachi’s Kitchen decided to give this beloved tradition a twist.

Highlights from the Fest

The festival brought together the best of Kerala’s kitchen, served with warmth and flair:

Vazhapoo Vadai – Banana flower fritters that were crisp, golden, and packed with flavour.
Meen Moilee – A standout dish with fish cooked in coconut milk, mildly spiced yet incredibly rich and satisfying.
Kadala Curry – Earthy and wholesome, prepared with black chickpeas and seasoned to perfection.
Kozhi Mapas – A chicken curry in coconut milk that was delicate, aromatic, and comforting.
Seafood Specialties – From fresh meen moilee to prawns roast, the coastal flavours of Kerala stole the show.

A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

What made this food fest truly special was the balance between tradition and creativity. Each dish retained its cultural authenticity while adding subtle touches that made it fresh and exciting.

Vegetarians enjoyed soulful classics, while seafood and chicken lovers had plenty to celebrate. Every plate carried the warmth of Kerala’s heritage and the joy of festive dining.
