Learn to cook in Vijaya's small kitchen South Indian delicacies such as fresh-off-the-griddle roti with prawn masala cooked in a fragrant tomato, onion, and chili base before sharing your meal with Vijaya and her husband.
Cheery Vijaya cooks a variety of predominately meat-based South Indian and western dishes in her home on the outskirts of Chennai such as peas pulao with rich chicken korma along with a vendakka (okra) fry and paper-thin dosas. If you prefer a more western theme, try her amazing roasted chicken or roast beef. Be sure to end your meal with her expertly prepared hot gulab jamun.
Vijaya's home is 45minutes outside of Chennai by car, so please leave enough time for the drive.
This is just a sample menu to give you an idea of the types of dishes the host cooks. Your menu will vary according to seasonal availability.
Vijaya, a retired teacher (with more than 4,000 followers on her Pinterest page; she keeps busy!), has a life-long love of cooking. Now that her daughters have homes of their own, Vijaya fulfills her love of cooking and teaching by cooking hosting travelers with Traveling Spoon.
