Tarayi, a tiny three-table eatery in St. Thomas Town, East Bengaluru, was born of homemaker Freeda Ananth’s desire to share the culinary legacy of her late mother and to set up a small business of her own. So, with the support of her husband, Vijay Ananth, this soft-spoken lady ventured out as a restaurateur just a couple of months ago, and in a relatively short span of time has managed to make an impression on the neighbourhood with her rendition of Mangalorean-Kundapur fare laced with a touch of Kerala influence. I visited Tarayi to taste their limited but tasty homestyle offerings, and to also help share the word on this family enterprise that’s a true labour of love. Hope you enjoy this episode, take care, stay safe and happy eating!
Prawn Ghee Roast
This ghee roast masala exudes a slight sour twang followed by the warmth of the chilli and spices. The prawns are cooked just right, delicately ‘springy’ on the bite, swaddled in the grainy textured masala with the lushness of ghee.
Rs. 270 (usd 3.6)
9/10
Black Pomfret Fry
The masala is napped rather lightly on the fish, allowing for the pomfret to shine in its fresh flavours. The skin is cooked to a perfect crisp.
Rs. 250 (usd 3.3)
8.5/10
Seer Fry
Rs. 280 (usd 3.7)
8/10
Crab Masala
Loved the aromatic masala, onions, tomatoes and spices, soaked up by the plump, meaty sea crab. The sweet crab meat contrasts beautifully with the savoury notes of the masala. If you love crab, this is certainly a must-order when here.
Rs. 240 (usd 3.2)
10/10
Fish Thali
A satisfying thali, complete with modest portions of mackerel curry and fry, in addition to sambar, rasam, vegetables, boiled rice… perfect if you’re looking to savour Mangalorean fare on a budget.
Rs. 150 (usd 2)
8/10
Kheema Ball Curry
A pleasing curry, I found the meat ball a tad pasty and giving up the texture of the flour used to bind the mince together.
Rs. 120 (usd 1.6) for half portion
7/10
Chicken Curry
A homestyle curry, thin in its consistency but rich in the flavour of the masala. Goes well with the neer dosae.
