My first taste of Malnad cuisine was in Agumbe where we had gone for a weekend in September. While it rained cats and dogs, we were treated to some great authentic cuisine by our hosts. The food was truly delicious!

If you want a taste of this cuisine, here’s your chance!

Vanastree, the Malnad Forest Garden and Seedkeepers’ Collective (Sirsi) is organising a range of products and ideas from the home gardens of women farmers in the Malnad region.

Wild forest foods, traditional foods and preserves, spices, honey, herbs, garden pharmacy / herbal baskets, indigenous seeds, natural rangoli colours, wild date palm yoga mats, aromatic essential oils, seed jewellery etc. are some of the things on display. Sounds exciting?

Well, all you need to do is head to this venue:
