Friday Night Takeaway

Cooking from the South West Coast of India

Cooking recipes from homes in the south west coast of India in Southwest France, 33220 Saint-Avit-Saint-Nazaire. Traditional recipes; silky, hot, coconut curries from Kerala, Vindaloos from Goa, fish from the Konkan coast, eclectic cooking from the melting pot of Bombay (aka Mumbai), and classical vegetarian Gujarati cuisine.

Friday Night Takeaway

We are a husband-and-wife team, Imtiaz Hasan and Corinne Terrasson, leaving a hectic and fast-paced life in London to move with our 2-year-old daughter Mia in 2020, to this quiet part of France. The purchase and renovation of a farm house has given us the opportunity to work with food, Ayurveda and holistic practices and to provide ourselves and those who try our food an experience of home cooking which is far different to the restaurant Indian food here or in other parts of France

Trained in Hotel Management and Catering Technology in the first part of our careers, working with the Taj and Oberoi Group in India and then in London with The Taj Group at their iconic Indian restaurant Bombay Brasserie. Travelling working and living in India and cooking with home cooks, we are passionate about food from the South West coast of India.

Main Course & Side Dishes

Meat Main

Andhra Chicken
13 € with cumin and pea rice
A signature dish from Andhra Pradesh in South India, celebrated for its bold, fiery flavours. Chicken thighs cooked with a vibrant blend of red chilies, curry leaves, and aromatic spices, coriander, cumin, fennel, and freshly ground pepper.  A poppy, coconut and cashew nut paste is added for extra body and a silky finish. These warm, fragrant spices highlight the region’s love for heat and its rich, rustic culinary traditions. Making the chicken sing with joy!

Vegetarian Main

Our vegetarian option
Andhra Aloo Gobi (cauliflower and potatoes)
13 € with cumin and pea rice
Roasted cauliflower and potatoes stand strong with their charred edges against a vibrant blend of red chilies, curry leaves, and aromatic spices, coriander, cumin, fennel, and freshly ground pepper. These warm, fragrant spices with a poppy seed, coconut and cashew masala highlight the region’s love for heat and its rich, rustic culinary traditions. Cauliflower and potatoes with va-va-voom!

Side Dish

Cumin and Pea Rice included with the main course
Fluffy, long-grain basmati rice infused with the warm, nutty aroma of toasted cumin seeds. Tender green peas add a pop of sweetness and colour, creating a perfectly balanced dish, fragrant, and comforting. An elegant rice dish that pairs beautifully with both the Andhra chicken and Andhra cauliflower and potatoes

Side Dish

Andhra Tomato Pappu (Tomato Toor Dal) “Rice is good, but lentils are my life,” goes a famous Hindu proverb about the staple importance of lentils in India
3.50 € per person
Creamy toor dal simmered with tomatoes and finished with a fragrant tadka (tempering) of mustard seeds, cumin, garlic, dried red chillies, curry leaves, and a touch of ghee adds a deep South-Indian flavour. Bright, tangy, and comforting—an ideal companion to spicy Andhra chicken and Andhra cauliflower and potato
