There was a communal feast where hundreds enjoyed traditional south Indian dishes like sambar and idli, which according to one of Ms Harris' relatives, are among her favourite foods to eat.

Dosas float through the dining room, an edible parade of crisp pancakes rolled up like scrolls and escorted with a trio of add-ons: pale green coconut chutney, sunny tomato chutney and sambar, lentil vegetable stew.

It is home to vulnerable species — leopards, sambar deer, dozens of types of butterflies — and consists of 27 tribal hamlets, or forest-dwelling communities, including her own.

My dosas are thin and crispy enough to rival any restaurant menu offering, and are ideal for little hands to dunk into coconut chutney or sambar.

The sambar and tomato chutney were my favorites, but you can tear off pieces of dosa and dip them in whatever sauce you prefer.
