Santripti

Coming up on 9th May 2026:
The Steam, The Leaf, and The Soul: Reliving Elai Vadam (Rice Papadam) with Santripti
There is a specific, fleeting magic that exists only in a South Indian kitchen during the peak of summer. It’s the moment the heavy lid of the steamer is lifted, releasing a fragrant cloud of spiced rice batter steam.
Before the sun claims them, and before the hot oil transforms them into crackling crisps, there is the freshly steamed Elai Vadam.
Pre-order and delivery only in Chembur

VEN PONGAL

A typically hearty breakfast of rice and lentils. This simple variant of khichdi, is the perfect start for a busy day. Packed with carbs and proteins and just the right amount of fat in the ghee tadka (tempering). A surefire way to keep you energized through the day.

This delicious dish brings back fond memories of the 80's, as we grew up in a suburb of Mumbai. Our Periappa (Appa's elder brother, in Tamil) who was a doctor, used to love the Ven Pongal made by our Amma. In those days there was no telephone at our place and yet, call it sheer telepathy, or brotherly affection, but Periappa would always drop in just before he went to his clinic in the evening (although our home was a detour from his route). The joy of having our favorite tiffin used to be doubled on seeing our beloved Periappa!

Our Amma liked the Santripti version of her awesome Ven Pongal.

Hope Periappa approves of our creation of this simple soul food too!

DAY ONE yesterday, and we were SOLD OUT!
Thank you Chembur for the wonderful response, this reposes tremendous faith in us and serves as a huge encouragement. We are humbled, thank you 🙏
