Madame Curry! Our dinner on Friday, 7 November 2025 is fully booked!
It all starts with a fleeting thought…it’s not always crystal clear and if I’m not paying attention, I might just miss it. It sometimes can be described as a wish or longing and with each wish or thought, a seed is sown and a concept starts to percolate in my busy mind.
What’s most beautiful about the space I find myself in is I’m not bound to any culinary path. I almost daily indulge my culinary passions with some days focusing on my range of pies, and others crafting and creating magnificent cakes…there’s food cooked on the fire and the creation of spices blends and aromatic masala.
We relaunched the cooking classes this year and what I found most surprising was the number of guests who return just to savour the meals prepared. The snacks are served straight from the pan to plate, the main courses like lamb curry are piping hot with the potatoes melting in complete surrender and the roti…I could go on about the roti. They have to be straight from the thava to the plate. I don’t just serve food, I put feelings on a plate and it’s almost like time travel taking you back to the kitchens of your childhood where you could hear the shuffle of a sari, the sound of coarse salt being scooped out a jar with loving fingers, the creaking of the cupboard as it opened and closed and the aroma was simply heavenly. We didn’t just eat food, we ate love that was the magic of it.
While there are plenty of Indian restaurants and Durban style diners and takeaways, I’ve come to understand that it’s not about food, it’s about the experience and I am delighted to announce the launch of my dinner club, Madame Curry. We will be curating menus and creating feasts served in a home where guests get to enjoy old school Durban Indian warmth and hospitality so if you’re looking for love, curry and warmth this Winter, this is just the night out for you! There’s story telling taking you through the origins of dishes, my spice adventures and also tales of the misadventures and highs and lows of
curry’preneur life.
‘Dear Durban’ is our first theme and just seems to be the perfect starting point since for me, my curry roads will always lead back to my hometown.
Our menu features….
Snack platter consisting of Veddes and Samosas
For the mains we have old school layered lamb breyani made with tender cuts of leg of lamb served with dhall and carrot salad
Braised chicken curry cooked on the bone with melting potatoes
Andhra prawn curry - brings the real Telugu bangs to any dinner party. Succulent prawns are simmered in a tomato base with tamarind and curry leaves.
Hot hot roti from thava to plate

Dessert for us is the real show off part of the evening where we get to showcase my most popular creations. Our decadent burfee cake, gulab jamun and wedding style Soji will be part of the dessert offering.
