    Kalyan, the Meat Chef

    In India, the Bannur mutton is considered as expensive. These sheep have more than average muscle-to-fat-ratio and the thin layer of fat is evenly distributed over their bodies and therefore the meat becomes tender so fast when cooked and taste flavourful!

    Kartha Masala -Dark Masala

    𝗞𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗮 literally translated as “dark masala”. The whole spices are dry roasted, a shade darker than you would normally roast the spices and then grind these spices into a fine powder. The longer dry roasting adds a smoky-earthy taste to the curry.

Devagi Sanmugam

As a chef, spice curator, and author of over 20 cookbooks, my life revolves around the exquisite world of food. I am deeply passionate about experiencing food in all its forms—I love to see, touch, smell, hear, and feel the ingredients that create culinary magic. Each spice tells a story, every herb evokes a memory, and the textures of food bring joy to my senses. Traveling is not just a pastime for me; it is an essential part of my journey as a culinary educator. Exploring diverse cuisines around the world allows me to expand my knowledge and understanding of food, enriching both my cooking and teaching. I revel in discovering new flavors and techniques that I can share with others, igniting their own passion for cooking. This blog is a heartfelt expression of my love for food—a platform where I can share my culinary adventures, insights, and recipes. Join me as we explore global cuisine, celebrating the beautiful and delicious experiences that food offers.
