• Spice Craft: Supervise the roasting and grinding of in-house spice blends to ensure the authentic "homestyle" taste of Kerala cuisine.
• Section Leadership: Direct the activities of Commis chefs in the South Indian section, ensuring all mise-en-place is ready before peak service hours.
• Seafood Management: Oversee the cleaning, marination, and cooking of fresh catch, ensuring delicate proteins are never overcooked.
• Plating & Presentation: Adapt traditional dishes for a contemporary restaurant presentation without losing their authentic soul.
