Kochi: Giving a contemporary twist to traditional Keralite flavors, Tata Starbucks—the joint venture between Tata Consumer Products and Starbucks—has launched a special Onam-themed menu in the state for the first time.This limited-edition Onam menu is available until August 26 across nine selected Starbucks stores in Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Thrissur, and Kozhikode. Bringing a modern flair to Kerala’s familiar culinary tradition, the menu highlights authentic local ingredients such as plantain (nendrapazham), jackfruit, avial, injipuli, and jaggery.
The menu features three signature savory items: the ‘Avial Injipuli Wrap’, which blends seasonal vegetables cooked avial-style with a sweet and tangy injipuli sauce; the ‘Poricha Kozhi Wrap’, featuring Kerala-style fried chicken wrapped in a parotta alongside fresh herbs; and the ‘Nadan Kozhi Puff’, stuffed with chicken fried in indigenous Kerala spices.
In addition, the menu presents a selection of sweet delicacies highlighting plantain, jaggery, and jackfruit. Offerings include the ‘Nendrapazham Jaggery Coconut Strudel’, a pastry filled with a mix of ripe plantain, ghee, and jaggery; the ‘Nendrapazham Jaggery Loaf Cake’, made with ripe plantains and jaggery; and the ‘Chakka Swiss Roll’, a sponge cake filled with rich jackfruit cream.
Completing the Onam festive lineup are two specially crafted beverages: the ‘Chakka Flat White’, which pairs the natural honey-like sweetness of ripe jackfruit with aromatic cinnamon, and the ‘Chakka Cold Brew’, infusing the unique flavor of jackfruit into Starbucks’ signature cold brew.
