Vegetarian Food at ChukkiMane
Old-Mysore recipes. Chemical-free farms. Firewood-cooked, satvik meals.
At ChukkiMane we cook what the land gives us. Most ingredients are grown on our fields or sourced from trusted local farmers — chemical-free, freshly harvested, and prepared the traditional way.

How We Source & Prepare Food
24hrs
Harvest to Plate
From our fields to your plate
Over 80% of our staples — millets, vegetables, greens, fruits, herbs and cow milk — are grown on our land or supplied by small farmers we work with directly. We avoid long storage and cold-chain whenever possible. That means fresher flavours, more nutrients and less waste.
No chemicals. No shortcuts.
Soil is fed with compost, forest leaf mulch and cow dung. Seeds and seedlings are chosen for resilience and taste. Pests are managed through natural methods and companion planting. The result: vibrant taste and intact nutrition.
Traditional techniques, sensible hygiene
We use stone-ground masalas, hand-churned ghee and firewood stoves alongside modern hygiene standards. Everything is prepared fresh each day and served hot.

The Satvik Advantage: Food that Calms and Nourishes
Satvik food focuses on balance and clarity — simple spices, whole grains (jowar, ragi, finger millet), sprouts, moringa, and fresh dairy. Meals at ChukkiMane are designed to be gentle on the stomach, rich in micronutrients, and satisfying without heaviness.

Sustainable Practices Behind the Food
Every aspect of our kitchen connects back to the land and the community
Native cattle & fresh dairy
Our cows graze on forest grass; milk becomes curd and ghee used across the kitchen.
Compost & circular farm
Kitchen peelings and cow dung become field compost.
Responsible fuel
Firewood is collected from fallen branches and responsibly sourced.
Women-led kitchen crafts
Rice papads, jaggery sweets and chutney-pudis are made by local women — supporting village livelihoods.
A Complete Circle of Sustainability
From cow dung to compost, kitchen waste to fields, and fallen wood to stoves — nothing is wasted, everything nourishes the next cycle. This is how we've always farmed, and how we'll continue.
