Tamil Curry - not the curry you know, but the curry as it was meant to be

Meet the Tutor: Ravi Maniam

Born in Kayts - the first Portuguese–Tamil colony, where the post-chili Curry Renaissance began with the arrival of chili and new vegetables from South America — Ravi comes from the birthplace of the world’s first curry powder.

Now based in London, he is the author of Curry Heritage of the Tamils: History of Curry, written as a solution to the ongoing Great British Curry Authenticity Crisis.

An accountant by qualification and IT consultant by profession, Ravi is not a trained chef but a passionate cook. His mission is to introduce truly authentic Tamil Curry to the world - restoring heritage and flavour to Britain’s favourite dish, at a time when the Curry Authenticity Crisis is threatening a £5 billion industry and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of workers.

Why Tamil Curry?

  • Think about it: we don’t call English Breakfast a “British Breakfast,” and we don’t call Scottish Haggis a “British Haggis.”

    So why is it accepted to call Tamil Curry - a tradition that is thousands of years old - Indian Curry or British Curry?

  • The truth is, curry is a millennia-old heritage of the Tamils, whose two homelands were divided by colonial history: one annexed to British India, and the other to British Ceylon.

  • 👉 And remember: Curry is a Tamil word in English since the 16th century — a full century before the English East India Company was even founded in the 17th century.

  • Tamil Curry is not just another version of curry - it’s the origin. And that’s exactly what you’ll discover and cook in this Master Class.

Who is this course for?

  • Anyone who loves curry but wants to taste it in its most authentic form

  • Home cooks — from complete beginners to confident foodies - eager to explore new modern flavours

  • Plant-based, vegan, and vegetarian eaters looking for delicious curry options beyond meat

  • Food lovers curious about the real history of curry and its 3,200-year Tamil heritage

  • Anyone who wants to keep costs down — cooking curry meals at home is incredibly inexpensive, and this course will show you how to make authentic dishes that save money without sacrificing flavour. Perfect for families on a budget, as well as bachelors and university students.

FAQ

What do I need to attend the course?

You’ll need an email address, a stable internet connection, and a basic kitchen setup — an oven, a stove, and some everyday utensils. We’ll begin with simple recipes that use ingredients you can find easily. If a recipe ever calls for something harder to source, we’ll discuss alternatives together and make sure you can still enjoy the dish without any hassle.

I am a total beginner - is this a course for me?

Yes! This course is designed with beginners in mind. You’ll learn step by step, starting with simple, authentic Tamil recipes that anyone can cook. And if you already have some experience in curry making, be ready to see it in a whole new light — because once you learn the authentic Tamil way, your curry will never be the same.

What will I learn?

Most people know curry as a meat-heavy dish. But in reality, Tamil Curry has always been much more complete - with plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, seafood, and non-veg options.

While the demand for plant-based food has risen sharply, the wider curry industry has not adapted - leaving room for opportunists to push simplified versions. Tamil Curry, however, is ancient, vibrant, and naturally balanced.

In this course, we’ll start with basic, budget-friendly dishes that reflect everyday Tamil cooking. For Tamils, curry is a daily ritual - it can’t be complicated or expensive. Step by step, you’ll discover how simple, authentic recipes can transform the way you think about curry.

How does it work?

Simply enroll in the course, and you’ll receive a unique student access link by email. Click to confirm your details, and you’ll be ready to step into the world of authentic Tamil Curry — with new lessons added each week.

Can’t I just learn on YouTube or social media?

It’s true - you’ll find thousands of curry recipes on YouTube. The problem is, most of them are inconsistent, oversimplified, or based on restaurant shortcuts. Most importantly, they miss the fundamentals of curry making.

The Tamil Curry Master Class is different. It’s structured step by step, starting with the basics and building up over 3 months. You’re not just copying random recipes — you’re learning the authentic tradition of Tamil Curry, guided by history, culture, and feedback from our Founding Members.

In other words, YouTube gives you scattered pieces. This course puts the whole puzzle together.
