Our Andhra Veg Curry is a veggie adventure! High in fibre, featuring carrots, peas, and beans, this dish is packed with vitamins and minerals to support digestion. Tumeric and curry leaves are not just flavour enhancers, but they are rich anti-inflammatories. Interestingly, its digestion benefits, turmeric is often considered in Ayurveda medicine to promote digestive health.
Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein and nutrients, making them an excellent source of high-quality protein and is the perfect meal option for people looking for a healthy, balanced diet. When served with fragrant spices and a light tomato sauce, this dish is a nutrition powerhouse. It’s not only gut-friendly but also promotes muscle growth and general wellbeing.
Our Main Course options have found the right balance between flavour and nutrition. Whether it’s traditional vegetable dishes, or protein-rich options, we ensured our main course South Indian dishes were as healthy as they were tasty.

Coconut gravies are a signature feature in Mangalorean food and our Vegetable Gassi is an exceptional example of what coconut can do for a healthy gut. Coconut is chock-full of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). These fats are easy to digest which can help give you a more immediate source of energy. When plenty of fresh veg accompanies, not only does this dish nourish your body; but it really facilitates digestion.
Chettinad cuisine is renowned for its spices, however, there are benefits for your digestive system too! Our Chettinad Pepper Veg uses black pepper, which is a strong antioxidant and stimulates the stomach to produce hydrochloric acid (the acid in your stomach necessary for good digestion), thus, may enhance digestion. The vegetables contain a good amount of fibre; facilitating smooth digestion and preventing constipation, of course!
Vegetable Stew uses a simple coconut milk based gravy that is gentle on the stomach; a great one for those after milder flavours. The coconut milk fat, along with vegetables form a healthier option when referring to gut health but provide sustainable energy!
Kadipatta (curry leaves) are very beneficial as an antioxidant and have positive effects on digestion. Kadipatta Special uses a mix of vegetables or mushrooms, this fibre dense, nutrient packed dish offers flavour for your palate whilst keeping your digestive system happy!
