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.

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.

Main Course & Side Dishes

Meat Main

Pork-A rich, dark and sultry sauce, with roasted cumin, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Slow cooked pork with ground coriander, turmeric and red chilli powder and fragrant freshly ground black pepper. Finished with a local dark vinegar to give the sauce the depth of flavour only found in an Indian home kitchen. A curry which takes time and patience to create slow cooked tender meat.

Vegetarian Main

For the vegetarian version its the  wonderful autumn flavours of heritage pumpkin

Side Dish

Sambar-a south Indian lentil and vegetable stew-cooked with an aromatic sambar blend that is made in house. Moon dal and toor dal with the traditional Indian drumstick, tomatoes and okra in the vegetable mix

Side Dish

Chittrana-a rice dish made with a temper of mustard seeds, ginger, green chilli, curry leaves and roasted channa dal
 

Side Dish

Savoury pancakes-Uttapum, a rice pancake which is much thicker than the crepes we know. Using the same rice and lentil batter mix as a dosa, and topped with tomato, onion, chillies and pappula podi a spiced peanut powder

"Superb meal-I can’t believe the range of subtle flavours . The potato  Korma style/sauce  was my favourite-really tasty. The meal was very well balanced , with portion sizes just right.  A very talented chef, delicious food. Not normally a fan of biryani you have changed my view on it, Imtiaz!  Extras complemented well and the whole was very good value for money.
l look forward  to the next one…."
