Friday Night Takeaway
Cooking from the South West Coast of India
Cooking recipes from homes in the south west coast of India in Southwest France, 33220 Saint-Avit-Saint-Nazaire. Traditional recipes; silky, hot, coconut curries from Kerala, Vindaloos from Goa, fish from the Konkan coast, eclectic cooking from the melting pot of Bombay (aka Mumbai), and classical vegetarian Gujarati cuisine.
Friday Night Takeaway
We are a husband-and-wife team, Imtiaz Hasan and Corinne Terrasson, leaving a hectic and fast-paced life in London to move with our 2-year-old daughter Mia in 2020, to this quiet part of France. The purchase and renovation of a farm house has given us the opportunity to work with food, Ayurveda and holistic practices and to provide ourselves and those who try our food an experience of home cooking which is far different to the restaurant Indian food here or in other parts of France
Trained in Hotel Management and Catering Technology in the first part of our careers, working with the Taj and Oberoi Group in India and then in London with The Taj Group at their iconic Indian restaurant Bombay Brasserie. Travelling working and living in India and cooking with home cooks, we are passionate about food from the South West coast of India.

My first memory of eating this dish was in Bombay at the age of 12 visiting my Punjabi friend at his family home located just outside a cinema hall, on a busy bustling street of the city. The smells wafting from the kitchen of the fried chicken, freshly made tandoori roti, chutneys along with halwa to finish the meal were enough to stay with me forever. I still remember the taste, textures and spicing of the Chicken Chargha I ate and it’s something that I went and asked my mum to make. She called my friend’s mother for the recipe and we had it for dinner once and then as for as long as I can remember my father would ask for it to be cooked regularly.

Imtiaz provided a catered meal for my 70th birthday. The beautifully tasty, perfectly spiced food made up a really authentic menu. Thank you Imtiaz and David who managed so well in our basic kitchen.
Fantastic authentic chicken masala - fragrant and delicious, just like all the curries we have had from Friday Night Takeaway! Would highly recommend.

Three iconic chaat dishes celebrating the vibrant flavours, colours and energy of India’s bustling street-food culture.
Channa Chaat
Tender chickpeas tossed with red onion, tomato, fresh coriander and green chillies, brightened with lemon juice and a fragrant blend of roasted cumin and chaat spices. A vibrant street-food favourite balancing tangy, spicy and savoury flavours in every bite.
Papdi Chaat
Crisp papdi wafers layered with spiced potatoes, cooling yoghurt, sweet tamarind chutney and fresh mint-coriander chutney, finished with sev and a dusting of chaat masala. A delightful medley of crunch, sweetness, tang and spice.
Dahi Vada
Soft lentil dumplings soaked in creamy yoghurt and topped with sweet tamarind chutney, fresh mint chutney and roasted cumin. Light, refreshing and delicately spiced, this beloved classic offers a perfect balance of sweetness and tang.
Chettinad Feast
Journey to the spice-rich kitchens of South India with a menu inspired by the legendary cuisine of Chettinad. Robust roasted spices, fragrant curry leaves and vibrant citrus flavours come together in a celebration of one of India’s most distinctive culinary traditions, ending with the comforting sweetness of a classic gulab jamun
Beef Chettinad
A celebrated speciality from the Chettinad region of South India, featuring tender beef slow-cooked in a deeply aromatic masala of dry-roasted coriander, cumin, fennel and black pepper, layered with cinnamon, cloves, star anise and curry leaves. Bold, fragrant and full of character
or the vegetarian option
Seasonal vegetables simmered in a fragrant Chettinad gravy of roasted coriander, cumin, fennel, black pepper and coconut, finished with curry leaves and warming spices. Rich, aromatic and deeply satisfying
Lime Pickle Rice
Fragrant basmati rice tossed with the bright, tangy flavours of traditional South Indian lime pickle, tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves and roasted spices. A vibrant accompaniment that delivers a lively citrus kick in every mouthful.
Porotta
South India’s beloved flaky flatbread, expertly layered and griddled until crisp on the outside and soft within. Perfect for tearing and dipping into rich, spice-laden curries.
DESSERT
Gulab Jamun
Soft, melt-in-the-mouth milk dumplings gently fried until golden and soaked in a fragrant syrup infused with cardamom and rose water. Served chilled, this timeless Indian dessert provides a sweet and elegant finish to the meal.
Street-Style Masala Chai
A comforting, deeply aromatic staple of daily life in India. Robust Assam black tea leaves are slow-simmered with whole milk, unrefined sugar, and a freshly crushed medley of warming spices—including green cardamom, spicy ginger, cloves, and black pepper. Sweet, creamy, and packing a bracing, spicy kick, it is the ultimate warming tonic.
