In Search of Coffee in Coorg
The husband-wife team are third generation coffee farmers and founders of fivefarms.in – one of India’s premium single estate coffee stores. Subbaiah told me that they believe in very traditional plantation skills but ensure that they apply only modern roasting and grinding techniques to their coffee beans. They conduct Seed to Cup tours of the coffee estate. I learnt the history of how coffee was discovered and brought to India, its culture, farming techniques including harvesting, inspection of the coffee plants, and production process from its raw state.

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!

Meat Feast at Karnivore Kitchen
Kalyan’s speciality is Old Bangalore Naati Oota. This cuisine is influenced by early migrants from Tamil Nadu, Andra Pradesh and parts of Karnataka who settled in Bengaluru in the early 20th century. The dishes are predominantly non-vegetarian.
