COCHILLI PRO FOR BUSINESS
Serve South Indian dishes without building every base from scratch
Chef-led cooking kits for caterers, restaurants and foodservice kitchens that want regional South Indian flavour with less prep and more consistent results.
Each kit combines a Cooking Sauce, Marination Mix and Tempering Mix. Your team gets a reliable starting point while your chefs control the protein, heat, texture, garnish and final finish.
WHY TRUST US
Built by People Who Cook This Food for Real
CoChilli Pro comes from the same team behind CoChilli’s Kerala and South Indian catering, events and food club menus. We built this from real kitchen pressure. Food has to hold for service, scale for guest numbers, repeat across a team and still taste like it came from a proper South Indian kitchen.
This is not a generic curry sauce created in isolation. It is a chef-led system shaped by catering, service, feedback and the practical problems kitchens face when South Indian food is added to a menu.
FROM CHEF SINOJ SADANANDAN
The Same Problems Show Up in Every Busy Kitchen
I’ve spent more than 25 years cooking for customers, events and busy services. During that time, I’ve seen the same kitchen challenges come up again and again. Whether you run a restaurant, catering kitchen, hotel or takeaway, adding a new dish puts pressure on your prep time, staff, consistency and food cost.
COST AND LABOUR PROOF
Understand the Food Cost and Prep Savings Before You Trial
A product only makes sense if the numbers work. That is why CoChilli Pro should be tested like a kitchen product, not just tasted like a sauce. Use the kit as a known cost. Add your protein, liquid, garnish and selling price. Then check your portion cost, yield and labour saving before moving into larger orders.
BUILT FOR REAL KITCHEN WORKFLOWS
A Three-Part Kit Your Kitchen Still Controls
CoChilli Pro isn’t a finished curry. It gives your kitchen the flavour-building foundation, while your team still chooses the protein, vegetables, liquid, heat, garnish and final texture.
Each component is packed separately and added at the right stage of cooking.
-
Marination Mix
Seasons the protein or vegetables before cooking. Individually heat-sealed to protect aroma and flavour.
-
Cooking Sauce
Builds the body, texture and regional character of the dish. Retort-packed for ambient storage and a longer shelf life.
-
Tempering Mix
Adds the final aroma, texture and finish. Individually heat-sealed to protect its finishing aroma.
The menu is moving
Keep the classics. Own what comes next.
The classics aren’t going anywhere. Customers will always come back for dishes that feel familiar, comforting and properly made. But the next generation of diners wants more. They’re travelling further, eating wider and looking beyond tikka masala and bhuna. They want regional stories, unfamiliar ingredients and dishes they haven’t already seen on every menu, that creates an opportunity for kitchens ready to move beyond the familiar.
CoChilli Pro gives your chefs the foundations to serve Kerala classics today and explore what could become tomorrow’s best-seller, without rebuilding the kitchen around every new idea.

Practical questions
What chefs and operators need to know
What does CoChilli Pro provide, and what stays in our control?
Each kit provides a Cooking Sauce, Marination Mix and Tempering Mix. This reduces repeated flavour-building preparation and gives your team a more consistent starting point. Your kitchen still chooses the protein or vegetables, added liquid, heat, consistency, seasoning, garnish and final finish.
How spicy are the bases, and can we control the heat?
Kerala Mappas is Mild. Kerala Nadan, Varutharacha and Classic Onion Roast are Medium. Kerala Kudampuli Red Fish Curry Base is Hot.
Your chef can increase the heat with fresh chillies, black pepper or chilli oil. It can be softened with the appropriate added liquid, coconut milk or other finishing ingredients. Choose Mappas when you need a gentler starting point.
What do we need to know about allergens and dietary suitability?
The current Kerala Series recipes are Plant Based and Halal Suitable. They are made with No Dairy Ingredients, No Gluten Ingredients and No Nut Ingredients.
They may contain peanuts, tree nuts, milk, sesame, mustard and cereals containing gluten due to the production environment. Always review the full ingredients, allergen statement and suitability information on the individual product page and pack before ordering or serving.
