A South Indian culinary sojourn with Chef Bobby Geetha
South Indian cuisine is one of the world's most complex and misunderstood culinary traditions. This programme moves through it properly — from Bengaluru's artisanal café scene and Mysore's royal kitchen heritage, through the bold Kodava flavours of Coorg's coffee hills, into the fragrant biryanis of Malabar Calicut, Fort Kochi's colonial-era spice trade and finally the backwaters of Kumarakom, where the journey ends on a houseboat with a traditional Kerala Sadya feast. Chef Bobby leads every culinary session: market visits, masterclasses, home kitchen experiences and curated restaurant meals.
“Six regions. One chef. The real South India on a plate.”
