Taste the sea @ Dakshin Soiree

The upcoming chef’s table experience, led by Dr Darshan Gowda, is an ode to the sea. The dentist-turned-home chef is hosting his maiden Coastal Karnataka spread, open to 80 diners.

Titled Communities of Karavali, the meal spotlights how food has always travelled between communities, homes and celebrations along the Karavali coast, home to Mangalorean Catholics, Bunts, Konkanis, Bearys and the communities of North Canara.

The “progressive coastal South Indian lunch” will feature dishes such as prawn ghee roast, chicken sukka, kori rotti, kadubu, Bhatkali biryani and boiled rice, alongside fish, crab, mussels and more. There will be a live fish-fry section too, and curated coastal cocktails, with Annavru playing in the background.
