A little joint at Bannerghatta road, Malabar serves some of the best Kerala cuisine. The decor isn’t fancy but the food is lip-smackingly good. They serve a wide variety of Kerala cuisine.

Palappam-Veg stew and Puttu-Kadala Curry taste very authentic and the combos are worth a try.

Average cost of meal for two is Rs. 350. Alcohol is not served.

The Chef Master restaurant in Jayanagar is small and congested and tables are arranged close together. But when the crispy fried fish arrives at your table with Kerala parota and thick-gravy chicken curry, who cares about the ambience!

The first choice of customers here is fish. All the fish preparations are an absolute hit. Fish curry meals are popular among office goers coming for lunch. After fish, comes a delectable range of snacks like appam-egg curry, idiappam-ishtu (stew) and pazham pori (yellow banana bhajjis) in the evenings. It is a must-try for all the Kerala cuisine lovers.

Average cost of meal for two is Rs 300. Alcohol is not served.

A study in gated communities in Bengaluru, Chennai and Mumbai flags frisking of domestic workers and brings up questions of dignity and privacy.

Across megacities, workers in gated communities are subjected to checks at entry and exit points. Often excessive and intrusive, these include bag searches, confiscation of items without a gate pass, and, in some cases, pat-downs of workers — practices justified as deterrents against theft. During an anonymous survey, we spoke to 20–30 residents and domestic workers across Bengaluru, and a few communities in Chennai and Mumbai. Respondents across these cities reported “visual cues” of suspicious behaviour that corresponded with these searches. While respondents in the surveys reported no pat-downs in their communities, some employers and domestic workers informally flagged pat-downs…

by November 28, 2025 Society
A purpose-built, fully accessible space is helping women reclaim dignity, pursue education and sport, and advocate for systemic change.
