Indian Menu Recipe Development

I’m based in Chennai and I need guidance from a food-consulting professional to craft a new, standout Indian recipe for my menu. The dish has to feel authentically local yet fresh, pair especially well with tea (that’s an important consideration for my concept), and be practical for day-to-day kitchen operations.

What I have in place: a clear idea of the flavour profile I like, reliable local suppliers, and a kitchen team ready to test small batches. What I’m missing is the culinary expertise to translate those ideas into a fully-documented, repeatable recipe that factors in ingredient yields, cooking times, plating notes, and basic food-safety steps.

Deliverables
• Finalised recipe with exact ingredient weights, step-by-step method, and cooking timeline
• Costing sheet for a single portion and scaled batches
• Serving and plating suggestion that complements our tea service
• One round of refinement after the first kitchen trial

Acceptance criteria
The recipe must be executable by my current team without specialised equipment, pass an in-house taste test, and stay within a target food cost we’ll confirm together at project start.

If you’re in Chennai, have a solid background in Indian cuisine development, and can walk me through pilot production, I’d love to collaborate.
