South Indian Catering — Richmond

South Indian Catering, Made Properly

South Indian food is a different tradition to the North Indian curries most British diners know — lighter, rice-and-lentil-led, and built around coconut, tamarind, curry leaves and mustard seed. From our Richmond kitchen at 16 Ashburnham Road, TW10 7NF, we run a working South Indian catering service for weddings, community events and corporate lunches across Richmond, Kingston, Twickenham, Surbiton, Wimbledon and the surrounding postcodes.

Live Dosa Stations and Thali Service

The two service formats that work best for South Indian catering are the live-tawa dosa station and the seated thali. For a reception of forty to a hundred and fifty standing guests we run a live-dosa station with a dedicated chef, three fillings, and a rotating tray of coconut chutney, tomato chutney and sambar. For a sit-down wedding or milestone dinner we plate individual banana-leaf-style thalis: two vegetable curries, a dal, sambar, rasam, curd, pickle, rice, a papad and a sweet dish.

Regional Range Across the South

Within South Indian cuisine we cover the Tamil vegetarian tradition (dosa, idli, uttapam, sambar, rasam), the Kerala coastal tradition (coconut fish curry, appam, chicken stew) and the Chettinad style (pepper chicken, roasted spice masalas). Menus are built with the client based on regional preference, guest dietary mix and the service format. Every booking includes a written allergen matrix, Food Hygiene Rating 5 certificate and £10M public liability documentation.
