Malaka Spice Celebrates 28 Years of Culinary Excellence with an Exclusive Malaysian Menu

Malaka Spice, one of Pune’s most beloved culinary destinations, is proud to unveil an exciting new menu that brings a new take on the rich, diverse flavours of Malaysia that they have been serving for the last 28 years in the heart of Koregaon Park and Kharadi. Known for its bold Southeast Asian flavours from Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries as well as thoughtfully sourced ingredients, Malaka Spice continues its tradition of innovation with this new menu.

Drawing on centuries-old recipes and home-style techniques, Chef Gayatri Desai of Ground Up and Chef Shailendra and Chef Madhu from the Malaka Spice culinary team have created dishes that celebrate Malaysia’s multicultural food landscape —with influences from the Chinese Malay and Indian Malay traditions (also known as Peranakan or Nyonya food)

Inspired by the bustling street markets and storied Kopitiams of Penang, the new menu is a tribute to the deeply flavourful and aromatic world of Nyonya and Peranakan cuisine. Each dish tells a story—of spice-laden broths, fragrant herbs, and lovingly preserved traditions—reimagined through the innovative lens of the culinary team of Malaka Spice.

As we mark 28 years, we wanted to offer something that’s both nostalgic and fresh collaborating with Gayatri was a natural choice — her mastery of fermentation and pickling, Gayatri brings a technique-forward approach that perfectly complements Malaka’s warm, comfort-driven identity.,” said Ilvika Chandawarkar, Research and Business Development of Malaka Spice.

Guests can expect layers of flavour crafted with intention: tangy house-fermented sambals,
delicately pickled vegetables, and complex spice pastes that elevate familiar dishes into something entirely new. “This collaboration is an exploration of cultures that feel both distant and deeply familiar,” says Chef Gayatri. “We’ve created a menu that honours heritage while inviting curiosity—each plate is a nod to tradition with a Ground-Up twist.”

Malaka Spice has long championed farm-to-table practices, sourcing ingredients from their own Cherish Farms and also working with a network of trusted local growers and producers. For us, farm-to-table isn’t just a trend—it’s a commitment to quality, sustainability, and community. We like to know exactly where our ingredients come from and how they’re grown. It allows us to serve food that’s fresher, more flavourful, and made with integrity, while also supporting the people and practices that preserve our land and food systems.” Added Praful Chandawarkar, Owner, Malaka Spice.

This new menu continues that tradition, using seasonal produce, herbs, heritage spices— ensuring each dish not only tastes exceptional but also tells a deeper story. Inspired by their shared travels through Malaysia—particularly the vibrant street markets and timeless Kopitiams of Penang—the menu is a journey through the bold, nuanced flavours of Nyonya and Peranakan cuisine.

Some of the highlights from the menu include:

  • Rojak salad – Street style fruit salad with toasted coconut and spicy tamarind dressing.
  • Asam Laksa – Vegetarian a take on seafood laksa
  • Tomato galangal and fresh turmeric broth. Topped with pineapple, charred tomato, Vietnamese coriander and lemon basil
  • White Laksa – Layered with crab and shrimp flavours this laksa is special.
  •  Ayam Bakar – Grilled Chicken Served with sautéed beansprouts, lettuce and a tamarind dipping sauce.
  • Malaysian fried chicken- A Malaka take on Belachan fried chicken. The chicken is marinated in a shrimp butter sambal and raw mango and then toss it with a toasted rice and kaffir lime sukkat seasoning.
  • Egg custard House made steamed egg tofu – Kaffir lime, ginger and pickled water flavoured soy. Crispy poha.
  •  Jackfruit rendang Classic Malaka Spice rendang but with raw jackfruit.
  • Kaya French toast Kaya jam stuffed with shokupan and turned into a French toast.
  • Tapioca and dark jaggery Tapioca served with kaffir lime infused freshly squeezed coconut milk, drizzled generously with dark jaggery caramel

This special menu is a deeply personal culinary expression, blending the hearty, comfort-first ethos of Malaka Spice. The Malaysian menu will be available across at Malaka Spice Koregaon Park & Malaka Spice Kharadi. Diners can also enjoy curated tasting menus, pairing recommendations, and culinary storytelling sessions as part of the anniversary celebrations.

Tenable One Surpasses 300 Integrations, Delivering the Security Industry’s Most Open Exposure Management Platform

New Delhi, July 31, 2025 – Tenable®, the exposure management company, today announced a major new milestone as the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform now features over 300 validated integrations, making it the most open and interconnected exposure management platform on the market. This solidifies Tenable’s position as the central hub for security data, analytics, and unified risk reduction, limiting the industry silos caused by fragmented visibility that have long plagued security teams.

In an era where the average enterprise uses 83 different cybersecurity tools1, organisations face a chaotic and siloed view of their attack surface. This fragmentation creates dangerous blind spots that attackers exploit, while security teams waste critical time manually reconciling disparate data instead of stopping threats. Tenable One uniquely solves this challenge by serving as the essential connective tissue for the security stack. While exposure management is still a newer area of focus for most organisations, it has become clear that a robust but open platform with bi-directional partnership among vendors is essential to a preventative approach to cyber risk reduction.

“A closed-off platform isn’t just an inconvenience – it’s a security risk, and Tenable is leading the charge to tear down these walls,” said Eric Doerr, chief product officer at Tenable. “Reaching over 300 integrations is a fundamental shift in cyber control. We’re giving our customers the power to see everything, connect everything, and manage their exposure from a single, unified platform without having to replace the tools they already trust. This is the future of cybersecurity, and Tenable is delivering it today.”

The Tenable One platform unifies data from across the technology ecosystem—including endpoint detection and response (EDR), cloud native application protection platforms (CNAPP), asset inventory, privileged access management (PAM) tools and more—to provide a single, contextualised view of risk. By ingesting and correlating third-party data, Tenable One enriches it with threat intelligence and business context that identifies blind spots, allowing teams to visualise attack paths and perform contextual analysis to cut through the noise and focus on the exposures that matter most.

By seamlessly integrating with IT service management systems, communication platforms, security information and event management (SIEM) tools, and patch management tools, Tenable One doesn’t just provide insight—it drives action. The platform automates remediation workflows and streamlines cross-team collaboration, dramatically reducing the time it takes to investigate and close exposures.

Two-thirds of Tenable One customers — including many of the most security-mature organizations — already leverage Tenable integrations. This open ecosystem delivers measurable impact, with some Tenable customers reporting up to 10x greater visibility and 75% less time spent aggregating data, freeing teams to focus on preemptive, risk-based operations.

To further accelerate integration development and expand ecosystem reach, Tenable is introducing a universal integrations connector for the Tenable One platform this fall. This flexible, self-service framework enables customers and partners to easily build and maintain their own integrations – securely connecting custom applications and security tools to Tenable One without waiting on vendor roadmaps. It reinforces Tenable’s commitment to openness while empowering organizations to tailor the platform to their unique environments.

What Partners Are Saying

“Effective security requires collaboration, and our partnership with Tenable exemplifies this approach in action. By integrating Tenable One’s rich exposure data directly into Splunk Cloud Platform, Splunk Enterprise Security, and SOAR, we are providing our joint customers with unparalleled context to detect and respond to threats faster than ever before. The breadth of Tenable’s ecosystem is a massive force multiplier for security operations teams.”Gretchen O’Hara, Vice President, Worldwide Channels & Alliances, Splunk

“The traditional boundaries between security and operational teams have blurred, and meaningful risk reduction demands coordinated action across the business. The deep integration between Tenable One and the ServiceNow AI Platform helps close the gap between vulnerability identification and enterprise-scale remediation. Together, we’re enabling customers to accelerate response and embed risk reduction into the fabric of how work gets done, ensuring critical exposures are addressed before they can be exploited.”Lou Fiorello, GVP and GM of Security and Risk Products, ServiceNow

“Compromising privileged access remains the primary goal of cyberattackers, and understanding exposure is critical. The integration between the CyberArk Identity Security Platform and Tenable One gives our joint customers a powerful advantage. With a unified approach that combines deep vulnerability insights with intelligent privilege controls, organisations can pinpoint risks to their most sensitive accounts and act swiftly to secure them, preventing privilege escalation and stopping breaches.”Joanne Wu, Vice President, Business Development, CyberArk
