Tuya in Hyderabad brings back the dosa, muntha masala, sarva pindi and more
'Tuya means pure in Tamil,' says Chef Suresh DC, seated at his newly opened restaurant in Jubilee Hills. 'I didn't want to create yet another place dishing out idli, dosa, upma, biryani, or thalis at a premium. I told myself — I have to do something different.' Tuya, subtitled The South Retold, seeks to revisit and reframe South Indian cuisine through the lens of nostalgia, travels, and regional favourites — many of them drawn from the villages that shaped Suresh's palate. 'The dishes here are the ones I've loved. I didn't restrict myself to Tamil Nadu, nor to what's typically served in restaurants.' The space itself reflects a restrained, earthy aesthetic. Soft-hued Indian-themed wall art adds character, while touches of terracotta lend warmth. It is understated, but considered — just like the food. Our meal began with two striking green starters: Nilgiri Chicken and Mutton Cheekulu. The former owes its colour to green chillies; the latter, to a mint-infused gravy. The Nilgiri Chicken, made with bone-in thigh pieces, offered a subtle chilli warmth and paired beautifully with water — though one could imagine a crisp beer completing the experience, if only the restaurant had a liquor licence. 'It's just too expensive in Hyderabad,' Suresh shrugs. The Mutton Cheekulu arrived nestled in a pool of its minty, creamy base. Cleanly flavoured and elegantly plated, the dish set the tone for what followed. Vegetarians have plenty to choose from, too. Telangana's sarva pindi — a chewy rice-flour and peanut pancake — was reimagined with avocado and cream cheese, making for a photogenic and novel bite. The Muntha Masala (white peas ragda, alu bhujia, topped with gongura tempura) was a surprise hit at our table of mostly meat-eaters. What sets Tuya apart is its control. The flavours are thoughtfully balanced. Spices are used to complement, not dominate. Take the raw jackfruit gassi served taco-style in mini ragi rotis. The jackfruit remains centre stage, not lost in seasoning or overpowering curry paste. Most dishes arrive without the usual array of condiments, and frankly, none are missed. Small plates dominate the format here, making it easy to try more. Each serves one comfortably. The green chilli chicken with buttered bread was a standout; there is something deeply satisfying about mopping up spicy curries with soft, buttery bread. The butter garlic prawns, however, underwhelmed. They felt rushed, lacking in flavour and a little too soft in texture. One unexpected winner was the green kadla curry with idiyappam. Chickpeas in a rich coconut-laced gravy — mildly spiced and deeply comforting. It is the kind of dish that makes you rethink your favourites. Rice lovers will find plenty to enjoy. The mutton in Kundapur masala, served with benne dosa, was a welcome break from the predominantly green gravies — fiery, red and full-bodied. Desserts are generous, though not all hit the mark. The Rajahmundry frozen milkshake and coconut jasmine dessert were both overwhelmingly sweet. Too many sugary elements clashing on the palate. Still, Tuya is a refreshing new entrant to Hyderabad's dining scene — confident in its restraint, rich in regional storytelling, and quietly rewriting the rules of what South Indian food can be. Small plates (which serves one) are priced at ₹249 onwards.

Symphony of flavours & emotions at Tuya
Chef Suresh DC's journey from a passionate culinary enthusiast to a celebrated chef is a testament to his commitment to both innovation and tradition. An award-winning culinary maestro, he is acclaimed for his inventive flair in transforming familiar dishes into extraordinary gastronomic experiences. Fuelled by an unwavering passion for food, Chef Suresh has earned global recognition — featured in The World's 50 Best Discoveries and ranked as the 16th Best Chef by the prestigious Culinary Culture Awards, which celebrate India's finest culinary talent. Now, he brings his dream project, Tuya, to Hyderabad's Jubilee Hills. In a conversation with CE, Chef Suresh shares what Tuya truly represents, his deep-rooted connection to his heritage, and his firm belief that South Indian cuisine deserves a larger spotlight on the global stage. Excerpts Tell us about Tuya. It means 'pure' in Tamil. It was a long-time dream. Like many chefs, right after college, the goal is to open your own restaurant. Unfortunately, that dream doesn't come true for many, but I was passionate. I always wanted to serve pure, authentic food. By authentic, I mean flavour-wise. But in terms of presentation, since I trained in European kitchens for six years, I try to bring those techniques to the food I grew up currently have 102 seats. It's actually pretty massive. Initially, I wanted a small space with a one-page menu. But the market here demanded a bigger menu, so I decided not to take that risk. What kind of food can people expect at Tuya? You'll find familiar local dishes, but reimagined. For instance, we have Sarva Pindi, but made with avocado. Then there's Muntha Masala, instead of the usual mirchi bhajji, we've done it with a Gongura tempura twist. We also serve a Hazelnut Pootharekulu. So the idea is to take favourites and improvise — make them fun, yet rooted.

Here's My Experience With 5 Cheap Gadgets I Bought From AliExpress
If you're shopping online, you may have noticed products from Temu and AliExpress often come up in your shopping search. These items are so cheap that you may wonder if it's really a steal or if you should stay away. I was in that boat as well. And I love a good YouTube video where the host tests cheap tech from low-cost retailers. So, curious as I am, I decided to try my hand at testing cheap home products from the popular discount marketplace, AliExpress. Now, when shopping for a new piece of home hardware, gaming gear or audio tech, cheap tech usually equates to low-quality performance. But as I've come to learn, that's not always the case. Rules for the experiment Products must cost less than $15. Devices need to be cheaper than a mainstream equivalent. Weird devices are more likely to make the list. I'm happy to report it was an authentic experience with a mix of good-ish products and some really bad ones. From best to worst, here's how my AliExpress order played out. Best: Tuya Zigbee smart USB adaptor switch It's the smallest plug in my smart home. John Carlsen/CNET USB chargers for lighting and small devices occupy far too much space in my smart plugs, so I always wondered if I could get a USB smart plug. I got the Tuya Zigbee Smart USB Adaptor Switch -- which includes three USB-A ports -- for a measly $5.02. Tuya devices like these are hidden gems for smart home enthusiasts, though they aren't always the easiest to work with. I'm glad it was easy to link to my SmartThings home automation system. It's not much more than an on/off switch, but I like the fact that I don't need a bulky USB multiport charger to run the few small USB devices on my nightstand. You can't control the ports independently -- and the power output is too low for charging most devices, but it's a good option for trickle-charging portable speakers or headphones. Plus, it can connect to practically any USB power supply, including empty ports on my computer. The Smart USB Adaptor Switch earns an A for value and functionality. As a Zigbee device, it's also less of a cybersecurity liability than any Wi-Fi device from AliExpress and Temu. Better: USB-powered ceiling fan A handy little ceiling fan. John Carlsen/CNET Ceiling fans have always been out of reach, since I live in an archaic apartment without them. This means relying on a fleet of air circulators in my bedroom and office. But what if renters could add a ceiling fan without the hassle of begging the property manager to install one? Enter the tiny ceiling fan I got for $14. I like the design of this fan, especially the 12-foot USB cord, which is long enough to reach a ceiling hook without much effort. The fan is surprisingly quiet and uses three power settings. Still, it's not particularly powerful, with the highest setting producing a light breeze from a few feet away. The speed and timer controls are easy to learn, which is great because the entire manual is written in Chinese. You can get the gist of the manual by using Google Lens to translate the text, but it's largely unnecessary. I give this product a B+ for being useful, albeit in niche settings where normal ceiling fans aren't practical. Good: Tuya Zigbee water sensor The water sensor worked OK but I'm not sure why it came with three reset pins. John Carlsen/CNET Unlike Tuya's smart USB switch, the Tuya Zigbee water sensor didn't properly connect to my SmartThings system on the first try. SmartThings classified it as a generic Zigbee device -- it couldn't see when the sensor detected water. This is a textbook example of Tuya's devices not always playing nicely with smart home hubs. So I rolled up my sleeves and dug into the SmartThings Edge Driver Builder, a developer tool for assigning drivers to smart home devices. After selecting my Tuya leak sensor from the list of devices in my smart home, I chose the Zigbee Water Leak Sensor driver and configured it as a water sensor. Like magic, the sensor started working. It's pretty responsive, and I like that it uses common AAA batteries. The extra effort might be worth the $4.59 I paid for the Tuya Zigbee Water Sensor, but I can't give it more than a C+ for someone who wants out-of-the-box smart home compatibility with SmartThings. I can't gauge whether it's great for other smart home platforms, but I suspect it's even better in Home Assistant. Now Playing: Testing Temu Tech So You Don't Have To 13:52 Worse: Smart Wi-Fi clock movement mechanism No hands on deck. John Carlsen/CNET I recently began transitioning most of the analog clocks in my home to tickless clock movements, which are less annoying than the ticking of a second hand when you're trying to fall asleep at 2 a.m. Let's try a smart Wi-Fi clock movement mechanism to set the time automatically like the digital clock on my Google Nest Hub. What followed was one of my most frustrating setup experiences in years. Out of the box, the clock I bought didn't come with any hands for seconds, minutes or hours. I spent far too long trying to fit some leftover hands from a previous DIY project, only to find that the clock didn't work. The included instructions, which came on a sheet of printer paper, were not helpful. They don't say that you need to remove the gray "locating needle" from the back of the clock before it will work. This pin locks the gears in place at Noon, likely to keep the clock aligned during shipping and when putting on the hands, which makes sense on a Wi-Fi clock that sets itself. It took two hours before I got it working. Plain-text passwords are visible to everyone. John Carlsen/CNET I'm even more disappointed with the Wi-Fi connection, which is not even close to secure. Anyone can open the clock's Wi-Fi connection to see your network's name and password. So glad I used my phone's hotspot for a temporary network. I give this product, which costs $14.01, a D- for working as advertised, even if it takes a while, and comes with a major Wi-Fi vulnerability. However, it's not the worst product by a long shot. Worst: Smart portable clothes dryer It's not supposed to be this droopy. John Carlsen/CNET I got the Beauty-Health Store smart portable clothes dryer for just $12.32. I won't waste your time: This is the most dangerous product from my AliExpress order. How do I know this? It quite literally melted about 2 hours into my very first drying session. The plastic in this product is not heat-resistant in any way. It didn't even dry a single shirt completely, so there's no reason to buy a cheap portable clothes dryer when laundromats can handle much larger drying loads for a fraction of the price. When I went online to see if other customers experienced this problem, I noticed the product page was no longer available. With my suspicions confirmed, I won't even delve into the features of this terrible product. Instead, I'll use it as an example to reinforce why buying generic electronics from AliExpress, Temu, Wish and other cheap retailers is risky. With certain categories of tech, you're gambling on your safety and privacy. As you can imagine, this device earns an F for being unsafe. Now, excuse me while I navigate the 90-day AliExpress return policy, which is one bright spot. Hopefully, it fares better than these last two products.
