Gowri's Kitchen

Gowri's Kitchen Authentic Tamil Food cooked lovingly by a Tamil grandma. All dishes are from Sri Lankan and South Indian cuisine. For individual orders and parties/events.

Traditional meals, Street Food, Party Food and Snacks. COLLECTION ONLY at the moment. My name is Gowri and I moved to UK in December 2020 to join my daughters and my only grandchild here. I am very happy and excited for my future here. Since my move I have been very busy learning English and working towards my Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety for Catering, the latter which I was awarded in October

2021. I continue to attend both English and Computer classes as a way of developing my skills and as an opportunity to integrate and start my new life here. My roots are South Indian/North Sri Lankan - I am Tamil, and come from a very large family. My mum was one of 15 children! So I grew up in a culture where meal times were all about connection, nurture and family gatherings. One of my fondest memories is of the tradition of my dad mixing a large bowl of rice and various curries, and we all sit around him, and he will feed us grown adult children by lovingly placing one 'rice ball mix' into our hands. Cooking and feeding is perceived as a representation of love and nurture in our culture. This is one of the reasons I love cooking, especially when I see people enjoying the food. To see them happy makes me happy. Sri Lanka is a tiny tropical island in the Indian Ocean and is often affectionately called 'The Pearl of India'. Sri Lanka is a Buddhist country but a place with several religions and the cuisine therefore also boast multi-cultural influences and practices, including South India, Middle East, Dutch and Portuguese. These are reflected in the SriLankan cuisine, which is very unique.

Thank you Family Voice - Sheffield for all the support. When I arrived in the UK, I was very anxious and you helped me with my English, confidence and work. Now I help others and I'm one of the main chefs at Family Voice/ Ammi's Kitchen Sheffield. It's a full circle 😊 Thank you very much.

Happy Pongal! 🥰

Today is Thai Pongal, celebrated by Tamil Hindus and by Hindus around the world, though it is known by different names in various Indian languages and regions.

It is our version of Harvest Festival and it's a celebration to thank the Sun, Mother Nature and all the farm animals that help contribute to a great harvest! ☺️

The tradition is to cook some 'pongal', which is a type of sweet rice pudding cooked with jaggery, and also some side dishes/other snacks.

I made 'pongal' and also some 'vadai', which are savory doughnuts served with coconut sambol. I made the coconut sambol with freshly grated coconut...yummy! All of these are vegan and are often served as party snacks, drink snacks, or starters/appetizers. Please get in touch if you like to order some from me in the future 😊

Happy New Year to everyone.I hope you had a wonderful holiday 😊 I like to say thank you to all of you who have supported...

Happy New Year to everyone.

I hope you had a wonderful holiday 😊

I like to say thank you to all of you who have supported my business in 2025. I'm excited to continue cooking my food for you in 2026.

Today's post is slightly different: Not about cooking or food. I know a lot of anxious students will be revising for their upcoming exams soon. I like to introduce my brilliant one and only grandchild, Vash, who is a 2nd year Astrophysics university student. He offers tuition to all ages up to A-levels, especially revision and exam support. This is his website: https://www.vashtutoring.co.uk/about

He is working hard to save up for his final year at university and will appreciate any extra income and support. Thank you 😊

Welcome to Vash Tutoring Hi! I’m Vash. I know thinking about exams can be really scary. I’ve been there, only just recently, so I get it. I’m hoping with the right support, you’ll be able to reach your predicted grade. When I was home-schooled, the support of my tutors really helped me.I’m...
